http://openvpn.net/index.php/download/community-downloads.html
to download
the OpenVPN software, and install it on your device where you want to run the OpenVPN
client utility.
Note:
You need to install the OpenVPN client utility on each device that you plan to apply the VPN function to access your router.
Mobile devices should download a third-party app from Google Play or Apple App Store.
2. After the installation, copy the file exported from your router to the OpenVPN client utility’s
“config” folder (for example,
C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config
on Windows). The path
depends on where the OpenVPN client utility is installed.
