how to install openvpn to run from a router
I am trying to set up a openVPN to run directly from my router, so I can use a single device login, and then connect multiple phones etcs to use that VPN. Any help appreciated thanks
Hi Ranchor2,
The OpenVPN will not work if the R7000 is connected to another router. The R7000 should have a public IP on order for the OpenVPN to work.
The VPN service is not something you install on the router. It is a feature you enable. On my R7000 you have to log on to the router via browser and the Netgear Genie. Under the advanced TAB then Advanced Setup then the VPN service section enable the VPN service with a check mark in the box at the top of the window. I don't use mine for phone service so you will need that information from elsewhere.
