How do I create user accounts for the VPN?

 

I am trying to use the VPN feature of my Nighthawk Mesh WiFi-6 system.  I can't find any place in the admin web interface to add user accounts.  How can I add those accounts?  

 

Thanks,

Matt

  • You can't - all VPN users run on the same user account and the same certificate. If you have to ban/remove user(s) you need to roll-out a new config to all VPN users...

      Thanks for your reply.  So if there is only one user account, how do I set its username and password?  I tried the admin account, and that didn't work.

       

      Thanks,

        Never mind, it appears just leaving username and password blank works.  Thanks for your help.
