About setting up an OpenVPN connection [router mode] The type of virtual private network (VPN) access in which remote users access a protected network is called a client-to-gateway tunnel. The computer is the client, and the access point is the gateway. To enable users to access the access point over a VPN connection, the access point must be in router mode, and you must enable and configure OpenVPN service on the access point. Remote users must install and run OpenVPN client software on their computer or mobile device. OpenVPN requires a static IP address or DDNS service on the access point to enable a remote client such as a computer or mobile device to connect with the access point. (If the access point uses a static WAN IP address that never changes, OpenVPN can use that IP address to connect to the network over a VPN connection.)
