• To change the TAP mode service type, select the UDP or TCP radio button.

6. Specify how VPN client connections can be used on the AP by selecting one of the
following radio buttons:
• Auto. The AP automatically uses the VPN service only for necessary access, that
is, the AP allows access to sites and services that would not be accessible without
a VPN connection. This is the default selection. However, if some sites or services
are not accessible to the VPN client, or if a user cannot access some sites on the
Internet, select another radio button.
• All sites on the Internet & Home Network. The VPN client can access the Internet
and all sites and services on the AP network, that is, behind the AP firewall.
Accessing the Internet remotely through a VPN connection might be slower than
accessing the Internet directly.
• Home Network only. The VPN client can access all sites and services on the AP
network, that is, behind the AP firewall, but cannot access the Internet.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved. OpenVPN service is enabled on the AP.
Users must install and set up OpenVPN software on their computer or mobile device
before they can establish a VPN connection to the AP.
