Netgear R7500v2 - Nighthawk Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Router - 802.11ac Manual Do Utilizador

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 R7500 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 home router
or your home network with the OpenVPN software.

The default LAN IP address scheme for the R7500 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
home network or for the network with the client VPN computer. For information about changing these
settings, see 

 on page 128.

Launch the OpenVPN application with administrator privileges.

The OpenVPN icon displays in the Windows taskbar.

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.

Right-click the OpenVPN icon.
