OpenVPN Client Basic Settings
You can use the MoRoS LAN PRO 2.0 as VPN client, if you want to connect to a VPN server
via an unsecured network. This section describes the basic settings for the VPN client.
The basic settings of the MoRoS LAN PRO 2.0 are reasonable factory defaults, which you
need to adjust to the VPN which will be connected to the MoRoS LAN PRO 2.0. The VPN
basic settings are used to define with which IP address or host and via which ports the
VPN tunnel is established, and if the VPN transmission is performed with the UDP or the
TCP protocol. You can also define if LZO compression is used, which encryption algorithm
is used during the transmission, how large the tunnel packets are supposed to be, and in
which intervals the MoRoS LAN PRO 2.0 OpenVPN client sends VPN pings to the server. In
addition, you will have the option to display the current configuration file, to create a
configuration for an OpenVPN remote terminal (the OpenVPN sever) and to display a log
of the last connection.
Configuration with the web interface
In order to use
the OpenVPN client for a connection
, check in the menu "LAN
(ext)" on the page "OpenVPN client" the checkbox "Activate OpenVPN client".
In order to define the
IP address or the domain name of the remote terminal
,
which you use to have the MoRoS LAN PRO 2.0 establish the VPN connection,
enter an IP address or a domain name in the field "IP address or domain name
of remote site".
An
alternative remote terminal
can be determined, which is used by the Mo-
RoS LAN PRO 2.0 to establish the VPN connection, if a connection to the re-
mote terminal configured above cannot be established. Enter an IP address or
a domain name in the field "Alternative remote site" for this.
In order to
define the local port at the MoRoS LAN PRO 2.0 as well as the port
at the remote terminal
, enter a value for the required port into the entry fields
"Tunnelling over port (local / remote)".
The
VPN transmission protocol
is selected with the radio buttons "UDP" or
"TCP". We recommend to use UDP to minimize latency.
It is not obligatory to provide the
local port and the IP address of the
OpenVPN connection
. If you want to leave the use of ports and the IP address
free, uncheck the check box "Bind to local address and port".
