16. 1. Use OpenVPN to Access Your Home Network
OpenVPN Server is used to create an OpenVPN connection for remote devices to
access your home network.
To use the VPN feature, you need to enable OpenVPN Server on your router, and install
and run VPN client software on remote devices. Please follow the steps below to set up
an OpenVPN connection.
Home Network Router (VPN Server) Remote Devices
Step1. Set up OpenVPN Server on Your Router
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net or http://192.168.0.1, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the
password you set for the router.
2. Go to Advanced > VPN > OpenVPN, and tick the box of Enable VPN Server.
Note:
• Before you enable VPN Server, we recommend you configure Dynamic DNS Service (recommended) or assign a
static IP address for router’s WAN port and synchronize your System Time with internet.
• The first time you configure the OpenVPN Server, you may need to generate a certificate before you enable the VPN
Server.
3. Select the Service Type (communication protocol) for OpenVPN Server: UDP, TCP.
4. Enter a VPN Service Port to which a VPN device connects, and the port number
should be between 1024 and 65535.
5. In the VPN Subnet/Netmask fields, enter the range of IP addresses that can be leased
to the device by the OpenVPN server.
6. Select your Client Access type. Select Home Network Only if you only want the
remote device to access your home network; select Internet and Home Network if
you also want the remote device to access internet through the VPN Server.
