Set Up A Vpn Client; Enable A Vpn Client - NETGEAR Nighthawk AX8 User Manual

Set up a VPN client

Set up a VPN client to connect to a VPN server and anonymize your Internet traffic for
added security.
A VPN creates a secure, encrypted tunnel over the Internet between your router and a
VPN server. The VPN client redirects the VPN connection so that your router connects
to a VPN server in another country. The devices connected to your router are assigned
new IP addresses from the VPN server, which hides your devices' real location.

Enable a VPN client

To enable a VPN client:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select VPN Client.
The VPN Client displays.
5. Select the Enable VPN Client check box.
6. Select a VPN server from the VPN Server menu.
7. Select a VPN protocol from the VPN Protocol menu:
• UDP. UDP performs without error correction in transmission so it is faster but less
reliable
• TCP. TCP offers the error correction in transmission so it is more reliable but
slower.
8. From the Country menu, select a country that the VPN server can connect to.
9. From the City menu, select a city that the VPN server can connect to.
You must select the country first, before you can view the supported cities within
this country.
