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 R8000 must have 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 R8000 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
