Use a VPN Tunnel on Your Windows Computer
After you set up the router to use VPN and install the OpenVPN application on your Windows
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 R7000 must have a
different LAN IP scheme than 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 R7000 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 121.
