Nighthawk DST AC1900 DST Router and DST Adpater Model R7300DST Set Up a VPN Connection A virtual private network (VPN) lets you use the Internet to securely access your network when you aren't home. Open VPN Client Secure remote access Internet Figure 11. VPN provides a secure tunnel between your home network and a remote computer This type of VPN access is called a client-to-gateway tunnel. The computer is the client, and the DST router is the gateway. To use the VPN feature, you must log in to the DST router and enable VPN, and you must install and run VPN client software on the computer. VPN uses DDNS or a static IP address to connect with your DST router. To use a DDNS service, register for an account with a host name (sometimes called a domain name). You use the host name to access your network. The DST router supports these accounts: NETGEAR No-IP, No-IP, and Dyn. If your Internet service provider (ISP) assigned a static WAN IP address (such as 50.196.x.x or 10.x.x.x) that never changes to your Internet account, the VPN can use that IP address to connect to your home network. Note: The maximum number of client devices that can access the DST router concurrently using a VPN connection is 4. Specify VPN Service in the DST Router You must specify the VPN service settings in the DST router before you can use a VPN connection. To specify the VPN service: 1.
