Note:
If using manually assigned IP addresses instead of DHCP, the required changes are:

field to the Multi-WAN VPN Router
‟s IP Address.
Ensure your

settings are correct.
Linux Clients
To access the Internet via the Multi-WAN VPN Router using Linux, it is only necessary to set the

Address, make the following changes to your configuration.
Set your
Default Gateway
to the IP Address of the Multi-WAN VPN Router.
Ensure your
DNS
(Name server) settings are correct.
