About setting up an OpenVPN connection
[router mode]
The type of virtual private network (VPN) access in which remote users access a protected
network is called a client-to-gateway tunnel. The computer is the client, and the AP is
the gateway. To enable users to access the AP over a VPN connection, the AP must be
in router mode, and you must enable and configure OpenVPN service on the AP. Remote
users must install and run OpenVPN client software on their computer or mobile device.
OpenVPN requires a static IP address or DDNS service on the AP to enable a remote
client such as a computer or mobile device to connect with the AP. (If the AP uses a
static WAN IP address that never changes, OpenVPN can use that IP address to connect
to the network over a VPN connection.)
If the AP does not use a static WAN IP address, you can use a DDNS service for the AP
and register for an account with a host name (also referred to as a domain name). A
remote client such as a computer or mobile device can use that host name to connect
with the AP and access the network over a VPN connection. For more information, see
About Dynamic DNS [router mode] on page 171.
