You can set custom settings here according to your VPN needs. Below is summary of parameters available to set:
Field name
Explanation
1.
Enabled
Switches configuration on and off. This must be selected to make configuration active.
2.
TUN/TAP
Selects virtual VPN interface type. TUN is most often used in typical IP-level VPN connections,
however, TAP is required to some Ethernet bridging configurations.
3.
Protocol
Defines a transport protocol used by connection. You can choose here between TCP and UDP.
4.
Port
defines TCP or UDP port number (make sure, that this port allowed by firewall).
5.
LZO
This setting enables LZO compression. With LZO compression, your VPN connection will
generate less network traffic; however, this means higher router CPU loads. Use it carefully
with high rate traffic or low CPU resources.
6.
Authentication Sets authentication mode, used to secure data sessions. Two possibilities you have here:
“Static” means, that OpenVPN client and server will use the same secret key, which must be
uploaded to the router using “Static pre-shared key” option. “Tls” authentication mode uses
X.509 type certificates. Depending on your selected OpenVPN mode (client or server) you have
to upload these certificates to the router:
For client:
Certificate Authority (CA), Client certificate, Client key.
For server:
Certificate Authority (CA), Server certificate, Server key and Diffie-Hellman (DH)
certificate used to key exchange through unsafe data networks.
All mention certificates can be generated using OpenVPN or OpenSSL utilities on any type host
machine. Certificate generation and theory is out of scope of this user manual.
7.
Remote host IP
address
IP address of OpenVPN server (applicable only for client configuration).
8.
Resolve Retry
Sets time in seconds to try to resolve server hostname periodically in case of first resolve
failure before generating service exception.
9.
Keep alive
Defines two time intervals: one is used to periodically send ICMP request to OpenVPN server,
and another one defines a time window, which is used to restart OpenVPN service, if no ICPM
request is received during the window time slice.
10.
Local tunnel
endpoint
IP address of virtual local network interface (applicable only for point to point connections).
11.
Remote tunnel
endpoint
IP address of virtual remote network interface.
12.
Remote
network IP
address
IP address of remote virtual network.
13.
Remote
network IP
netmask
Subnet mask of remote virtual network.
After setting any of these parameters press
“Save”
button. Some of selected parameters will be shown in the
configuration list table. You should also be aware of the fact that router will launch separate OpenVPN service for every
configuration entry (if it is defined as active, of course) so the router has ability to act as server and client at the same
time.
