VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a method for secure data transfer through unsafe public network. This section
explains how to configure OpenVPN, which is implementation of VPN supported by the RUT900 router.
A picture below demonstrates default OpenVPN configurations list, which is empty, so you have to define a new
configuration to establish any sort of OpenVPN connection. To create it, enter desired configuration name in "New
configuration name" field, select device role from "Role" drop down list. For example, to create an OpenVPN client with
configuration name demo, select client role, name it "demo" and press "Add New" button as shown in the following
