NETGEAR Nighthawk RS400 User Manual

6.
Specify how client VPN connections can be used on the router by selecting one of
the following radio buttons:
•
Auto. The router automatically uses the VPN service only for necessary access,
that is, the router allows access to sites and services that would not be accessible
without a VPN connection. This is the default selection. However, if some sites or
services are not accessible to the VPN client, or if a user cannot access some sites
on the Internet, select another radio button.
•
All sites on the Internet & Home Network. The VPN client can access the Internet
and all sites and services on the router network, that is, behind the router firewall.
Accessing the Internet remotely through a VPN connection might be slower than
accessing the Internet directly.
•
Home Network only. The VPN client can access all sites and services on the
router network, that is, behind the router firewall, but cannot access the Internet.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved. OpenVPN service is enabled on the router.
If you or someone else wants to establish a remote VPN connection to your router,
make sure that OpenVPN software is downloaded and installed on the computer or
mobile device that will be used for the remote VPN connection.
Install OpenVPN software
You must install this software on each Windows-based computer, Mac computer, iOS
device, or Android device that you plan to use for VPN connections to your router.
