VPN is enabled in the router, but you must install and set up OpenVPN software on your device before you can use a VPN connection. Install OpenVPN software on a VPN client You must install OpenVPN software on each Windows-based computer, Mac computer, iOS device, and Android device that you plan to use for VPN connections to your router. Each computer or device is called a VPN client. The software consists of the application software and the configuration files: • Download and install the application software from the link that is provided in each client-specific section. • Download and install the configuration files from the router as described in each client-specific section. The configuration files provide the correct router configuration information for the client utility. You must download the configuration files after you enable and configure OpenVPN service in the router (see Enable OpenVPN service in the router on page 114). Note: If you later change the OpenVPN configuration in the router (for example, you change the TUN or TAP port number), you must download and install the .ovpn configuration file again on each client, depending on its operating system. If you change the TUN port number in the router, the .ovpn configuration file for Mac and non-Windows clients changes. If you change the TAP port number in the router, the .ovpn configuration file for Windows clients changes. Use OpenVPN to Access Your 115 Network User Manual
