4. 6. 1. Use OpenVPN to Access Your Home Network
In the OpenVPN connection, the home network can act as a server, and the remote
device can access the server through the router which acts as an OpenVPN Server
gateway. To use the VPN feature, you should enable OpenVPN Server on your router,
and install and run VPN client software on the remote device. Please follow the steps
below to set up an OpenVPN connection.
Step1. Set up OpenVPN Server on Your Router
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net , and log in with password you set for the router.
2. Go to Advanced > VPN Server > OpenVPN , and select Enable VPN Server .
Note:
• Before you enable VPN Server, we recommend you configure Dynamic DNS Service (recommended) or
assign a static IP address for router’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 Servive 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.
5. In the VPN Subnet/Netmask fields, enter the range of IP addresses that can be leased to the
device by the OpenVPN server.
6. Select your Client Access type. Select Home Network Only if you only want the 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.
