Custom Rules
Custom firewall rules provide more granular access control beyond LAN isolation. You can define
a set of firewall rules that is evaluated for every request sent by a wireless user associated to that
SSID. Firewall rules are evaluated from top to bottom. The first rule that matches is applied, and
subsequent rules are not evaluated. If no rules match, the default rule (allow all traffic) is applied.
VPN Setting
OpenVPN
A VPN is a method of linking two locations as if they are on a local private network to facilitate
data transmission and ensure data security. The links between the locations are known as tunnels.
VPN can achieve confidentiality, authentication, and integrity of data by utilizing encapsulation
protocols, encryption algorithms, and hashing algorithms.
Open VPN enables you to easily set up a virtual private network over an encrypted connection. It
is a full-function SSL VPN solution which accommodates a wide range of configurations including
remote access, site-to-site VPNs, WiFi security, and enterprise-level remote access with load
balancing, failover, and fine-grained access control features.
To set up your router as an Open VPN server, you need to install OpenVPN client software for your
Windows-based PC. You can download it from http://openvpn.net/download.html#stablel. The
software version must match the current version of Openvpn used by the router which is version
2.0.9.
When you enable Open VPN Client, you need two routers to create site-to-site VPN connections.
The server IP and client IP address should be within the same network domain.
