OPENVPN® CONFIGURATION
VPN configuration is accessible from the GWN7000 web GUI under “VPN”. Three options are available,
OpenVPN®, L2TP/IPSec or PPTP.
OpenVPN® Server Configuration
To use the GWN7000 as an OpenVPN® server, users need to start creating OpenVPN® certificates and
client certificates. Before generating server/client certificates, users should generate first the Certificate
Authority (CA) which will help to issue server/clients certificates.
GWN7000 certificates can be managed from web UI > System Settings > Cert. Manager.
Generate Self-issued Certificate Authority (CA)
A certificate authority (CA) is a trusted entity that issues electronic documents that verify a digital entity's
identity on the Internet. The electronic documents (a.k.a. digital certificates) are an essential part of secure
communication and play an important part in the public key infrastructure (PKI).
To create a Certification Authority (CA), follow below steps:
1. Go to “System Settings > Cert. Manager > CAs” on the GWN7000 web GUI.
2. Click on button. A popup window will appear.
3. Enter the CA values including CN, Key Length, Digest algorithm… depending on your needs.
Refer to below figure showing an example of configuration and below table showing all available
options with their respective description.
