Block VPN Client Internet Access in the Router
By default, the router is set up to allow VPN connections only to your home network, not to the Internet
service for your home network. If you changed this setting to allow Internet access, you can change it back.
To allow VPN clients to access only your home network:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the network.
2.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4.
Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > VPN Service.
The VNP page displays.
5.
Select the Enable VPN Service radio button.
6.
Scroll down to the Clients will use this VPN connection to access section, and select the Home Network
only radio button.
This is the default setting. The VPN connection is only to your home network, not to the Internet service
for your home network.
7.
Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
8.
Click For Windows or For Non Windows button and download the configuration files for your VPN
clients.
9.
Unzip the configuration files and copy them to the folder where the VPN client is installed on your device.
For a client device with Windows 64-bit system, the VPN client is installed at
C:\Program
files\OpenVPN\config\
by default.
