Use a VPN Tunnel on Your Windows Computer After you set up the DST router to use VPN and install the OpenVPN application on your Windows computer, you can open a VPN tunnel from your computer to your DST router over the Internet. For the VPN tunnel to work, the local LAN IP address of the remote DST router must use a different LAN IP scheme than the local LAN where your VPN client computer is connected. If both networks use the same LAN IP scheme, when the VPN tunnel is established, you cannot access your home DST router or your home network with the OpenVPN software. The default LAN IP address scheme for the DST 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 conflict, change the IP scheme either for your home network or for the network with the client VPN computer. For Use VPN to Access Your Network 228
