14.4 VPN Access to a Mesh Gateway
An EnRoute500 configured as a gateway can establish a VPN connection to an OpenVPN
server. This VPN connection provides the following capabilities:
• Any EnRoute500 in the mesh can be contacted directly from a remote host, even when

• Any EnRoute500 in the mesh can be contacted directly from a remote host, even when
NAT is enabled on the gateway device. This allows remote access to devices to monitor
their behavior or reconfigure them
their behavior or reconfigure them
• A secure path between the mesh and a host, which can be used to monitor and reconfigure
the mesh, is established. The control and status traffic passing between the mesh and the
host is protected if it passes over a public network at any point.
host is protected if it passes over a public network at any point.
The state of the VPN client on the EnRoute500 is set with the Enable VPN parameter. The IP
address of the VPN server and its port are specified with the VPN Server and VPN Port
parameters. Note that the VPN server parameter can either be an IP address or a resolvable
host name.
To allow a connection to be established to an OpenVPN server, appropriate credentials must
also be uploaded to the EnRoute500. Contact Tranzeo for information on how to create VPN
credentials.
CLI
The example below shows how to enable the VPN connection (‘vpn.enable’ in the ‘sys’
interface) and set the server and port parameters (‘vpn.server’ and ‘vpn.port’ in the ‘sys’
interface).

It is not possible to upload VPN credentials with the CLI. Please use the web interface to do
this.
Web GUI
These parameters can be set via the web interface on the “Wired/Backhaul Interface” page
when the device scheme is set to ‘gateway’ as illustrated in Figure 48.
