Figure 54: Create OpenVPN® Server
Click on "ON" to enable the OpenVPN Server
Enter a name for the OpenVPN® server.
Choose the server mode the OpenVPN® server will operate with.
4 modes are available:
● SSL: Authentication is made using certificates only (no user/pass authentication). Each user has a
unique client configuration that includes their personal certificate and key. This is useful if clients
should not be prompted to enter a username and password, but it is less secure as it relies only on
something the user has (TLS key and certificate).
● User Authentication: Authentication is made using only CA, user and password, no certificates.
Useful if the clients should not have individual certificates. Less secure as it relies on a shared TLS
key plus only something the user knows (Username/password).
● SSL + User Authentication: Requires both certificate and username / password. Each user has a
unique client configuration that includes their personal certificate and key.
● PSK: Used to establish a point-to-point OpenVPN® configuration. A VPN tunnel will be created with
a server endpoint of a specified IP and a client endpoint of specified IP. Encrypted communication
between client and server will occur over UDP port 1194, the default OpenVPN® port. Most secure as
there are multiple factors of authentication (TLS Key and Certificate that the user has, and the
username/password they know).
Choose the Transport protocol from the dropdown list, either TCP or UDP. The default protocol is UDP.
Select the interface used to connect the GWN70xx to the uplink.
Configure the listening port for OpenVPN® server.
The default value is 1194.
Choose the encryption algorithm from the dropdown list to encrypt data so that the receiver can decrypt it
