Unzip the configuration files that you downloaded and copy them to the f\
older where the 
VPN client is installed on your device. 
For a client device with Windows 64-bit system, the VPN client is instal\
led at 
C:\Program files\OpenVPN\config\ by default.
12.  For a client device with Windows, modify the VPN interface name to  NETGEAR-VPN: 
a. In Windows, select Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network 
Connections.
b.  In the local area connection list, find the local area connection with t\
he device name 
T

AP-Windows Adapter .
c.  Select the local area connection and change its name (not its device na\
me) to 
NETGEAR-VPN.
If you do not change the VPN interface name, the VPN tunnel connection w\
ill fail.
Use a VPN Tunnel
After you set up the modem router to use VPN and install the OpenVPN app\
lication on your  computer, you can open a VPN tunnel from your computer to your modem router over\
 the 
Internet.
For the VPN tunnel to work, the local LAN IP address of the remote router must use a 
dif
 ferent LAN IP scheme from that of the local LAN where your VPN client co\
mputer is 
connected. If both networks use the same LAN IP scheme, when the VPN tun\
nel is 
established, you cannot access your home router or your home network wit\
h the OpenVPN 
software.
The default LAN IP address scheme for the modem router 
 is 192.x.x.x. The most common IP 
schemes are 192.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x, and 10.x.x.x. If you experience a conf\
lict, change the IP 
scheme either for your home network or for the network with the client V\
PN computer. For 
information about changing these settings, see Manage the Modem Router’s LAN IP 
Address Settings  on page
  203.
To open a VPN tunnel:
1. Launch the OpenVPN application with administrator privileges.

Use VPN to Access Your Internet Service at Home
When you are away from home and you access the Internet, you usually use a local Internet 
service provider. For example, at a coffee shop you might be given a code that lets you use 
the coffee shop’s Internet service account to surf the web.
The modem router lets you use a VPN connection to access your own Internet service when 
you are away from home. You might want to do this if you travel to a geographic location that 
does not support all the Internet services that you use at home. For example, your Netflix 
account might work at home but not in a different country.
Set Up VPN Client Internet Access in the Modem Router
By default, the modem router is set up to allow VPN connections only to your home network 
but you can change the setting to allow Internet access. Accessing the Internet remotely 
through a VPN might be slower than accessing the Internet directly.
To allow VPN clients to use your home Internet service:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and 
password are case-sensitive.
4. Click the OK button.

7. Scroll down to the Clients will use this VPN connection to access section, and select the All 
sites on the Internet & Home Network radio button. 
When you access the Internet with the VPN connection, instead of using a local Internet 
service, you use the Internet service from your home network.
Note:By default, the Auto radio button is selected. The Auto option uses an 
automatic detection system that enables VPN access only for necessary 
services and sites and might not include full Internet access.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
9. Click the For Windows or For Non Windows button and download the configuration files 
for your VPN clients.

Manage Port Forwarding to a Local Server for Services 
and Applications
If a server is part of your network, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach the 
server. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or game server 
visible and available to the Internet.
The modem router can forward incoming traffic with specific protocols to computers on your 
local network. You can specify the servers for applications and you can also specify a default 
DMZ server to which the modem router forwards all other incoming protocols (see 
Set Up a 
Default DMZ Server on page 200).
Forward Incoming Traffic for a Default Service or Application
You can forward traffic for a default service or application to a computer on your network.
To forward incoming traffic for a default service or application:
1. Decide which type of service, application, or game you want to provide.
2. Find the local IP address of the computer on your network that will provide the service.
The server computer must always receive the same IP address. To specify this setting, 
use the reserved IP address feature. See 
Manage Reserved LAN IP Addresses on 
page 206.
3. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
4. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
