OpenVPN software.

To change the port, scroll down to the Service Port field, and type the port number that you want to
use.

To specify when VPN clients use the VPN service, select a Clients will use this VPN connection to
access radio button:

Auto. The router checks the Internet connection and makes its best effort to use the VPN service
only to access Internet sites and services that cannot be directly accessed without VPN.

All sites on the Internet & Home Network. The VPN client uses the VPN to access all Internet
sites and services, including those that are accessible to you without using VPN.

If you are traveling outside of your home region, this setting can allow you to access sites that
have geographical restrictions in your home region. Because all Internet access goes through
VPN, this setting reduces the access speed for the Internet sites and services without geographic
restrictions that you access using VPN.

Home Network Only. The VPN client can access only the home network through the VPN service.

Click the Apply button.

Your changes are saved. VPN is enabled in the router but you must install and set up OpenVPN
software on your computer before you can use a VPN connection.

You must install this software on each computer that you plan to use for VPN connections to your router.
