OpenVPN allows peers to authenticate each other using certificates, or username/password. When used in a
multiclient-server configuration, it allows the server to release an authentication certificate for every client, using
signature and Certificate authority. An OpenVPN can be established through this router.
You can select server mode, client mode, or access server client mode. In access server client mode, the user has to
download the auto login profile from the OpenVPN Access Server and upload the same to connect.

The router provides OmniSSL feature, a customized OpenVPN, which is an alternate to the SSL VPN connectivity
while supporting most of the SSL VPN features. OmniSSL provides an executable configuration file via a portal
page
(https://<WAN>/OmniSSL or https://<WAN>/OmniSSL/
(maintaining backward compatibility)
)
that facilitates
the client installation from the device and is an enhancement to the existing OpenVPN. Additionally, this VPN
tool can be used via mobile devices, thereby, eliminating browser and Java dependencies typical to SSL VPN
solutions including that offered in the DSR.
