Block VPN client Internet access in the router
By default, the router is set up to allow VPN connections only to your home network,
not to the Internet service for your home network. If you changed this setting to allow
Internet access, you can change it back.
To allow VPN clients to access only your home network and block access to the
Internet service for your home network:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
Orbi network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the admin 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 ADVANCED > Advanced > VPN Service.
The VPN Service page displays.
5. Select the Enable VPN Service radio button.
6. Scroll down to the Clients will use this VPN connection to access section, and select
the Home Network only radio button.
This is the default setting. The VPN connection is only to your home network, not to
the Internet service for your home network.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
Use a VPN tunnel to access your Internet service at home
To access your Internet service:
1. Set up the router to allow VPN access to your Internet service.
See Specify VPN service in the router on page 108.
2. On your computer, launch the OpenVPN application.
The OpenVPN icon displays in the Windows taskbar.
3. Right-click the icon and select Connect.
4. When the VPN connection is established, launch your Internet browser.
