Note: If you later change the OpenVPN configuration in the router (for example,
you change the TUN or TAP port number), you must download and install the
.ovpn
configuration file again on each client, depending on its operating system. If you
change the TUN port number in the router, the
.ovpn
configuration file for Mac and
non-Windows clients changes. If you change the TAP port number in the router, the
.ovpn
configuration file for Windows clients changes.
