VPN Server and Service with
OpenVPN [Router Mode]
If the access point is in router mode, you can use OpenVPN software to set up VPN
connections and remotely access an office or site at which the access point is installed.
In such a situation, the access point functions as a VPN server.
This chapter describes how to set up OpenVPN on the access point and on a computer
or mobile device and how to initiate a VPN connection to the access point, using
OpenVPN.
The chapter includes the following sections:
• Enable and configure OpenVPN and VPN client access on the access point [router
mode]
• OpenVPN client utility and VPN configuration files [router mode]
• About setting up an OpenVPN connection [router mode]
• About VPN access to your network or Internet service at your office or home [router
mode]
• Use a VPN tunnel to remotely access your Internet service [router mode]
Note: The information in this chapter does not apply if the access point is in access
point mode.
