VPN controlling access

I have just got a R7000 router and i am wanting to use the openVPN on it. My main worry is security as it just seems to generate one set of files with no user name or password support for each user....
access control
MAC address
Security
VPN

    Thanks ElaineM,

    I am a lot happier at using the VPN now, that i can restrict a user from accessing my network throught the VPN unless their MAC address is set to allowed.
