Use a VPN Tunnel on Your Windows Computer
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 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 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 Change the LAN TCP/IP settings on page 57.
To open a VPN tunnel:
1. Launch the OpenVPN application with administrator privileges.
