Use a VPN tunnel on your Windows-based
computer
After you set up the router to use VPN and install the OpenVPN application on your
computer, you can open a VPN tunnel from your computer to your router over the
Internet.
For the VPN tunnel to work, the local LAN IP address of the remote router must use a
different LAN IP scheme from that of the local LAN where your VPN client computer is
connected. If both networks use the same LAN IP scheme, when the VPN tunnel is
established, you cannot access your business router or your business network with the
OpenVPN software.
The default LAN IP address scheme for the router is 192.x.x.x.The most common IP
schemes are 192.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x, and 10.x.x.x. If you experience a conflict, change the
IP scheme either for your business network or for the network with the client VPN
computer. For information about changing these settings, see Manage the LANs on
page 107.
To open a VPN tunnel:
1. Launch the OpenVPN application with administrator privileges.
Figure 5. The OpenVPN icon displays in the Windows taskbar.
TIP: You can create a shortcut to the VPN program, then use the shortcut to access
the settings and select the run as administrator check box. Then every time you
use this shortcut, OpenVPN automatically runs with administrator privileges.
2. Right-click the OpenVPN icon.
