Set Up a VPN Connection

A virtual private network (VPN) lets you use the Internet to securely access your network when you are not

home.

Figure 9.VPN provides a secure tunnel between your home network and a remote computer

This type of VPN access is called a client-to-gateway tunnel.The computer is the client, and the modem

router is the gateway. To use the VPN feature, you must log in to the modem router and enable VPN, and

you must install and run VPN client software on the computer.

The modem router does not support iOS or Android VPN client software.Note

VPN uses DDNS or a static IP address to connect with your modem router.

To use a DDNS service, register for an account with a host name (sometimes called a domain name).You

use the host name to access your network.The modem router supports these accounts: NETGEAR, No-IP,

and Dyn. See Set Up and Manage Dynamic DNS on page 152.

If your Internet service provider (ISP) assigned a static WAN IP address (such as 50.196.x.x or 10.x.x.x)

that never changes to your Internet account, the VPN can use that IP address to connect to your home

network.

Specify VPN Service in the Modem Router

You must specify the VPN service settings in the modem router before you can use a VPN connection.

To specify the VPN service:

1. Launch a web browser from a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device device that is connected to the

network.

2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.

A login window opens.
