Block VPN Client Internet Access in the Router
By default, the router is set up this way. It allows 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:
1. 
Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the network.
2. 
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window displays.

Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and 
password are case-sensitive.
