set up an OpenVPN connection.

Note:
• Before you enable VPN Server, we recommend you configure Dynamic DNS Service (recommended) or assign a
static IP address for mesh device’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.

to the device by the OpenVPN server.

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.
