About VPN connections  
A virtual private network (VPN) lets you use the Internet to securely access your network  
when you aren’t home.  
This type of VPN access is called a client-to-gateway tunnel. The computer is the client,  
and the router is the gateway. To use the VPN feature, you must do the following:  
Log in to the router to enable and configure OpenVPN (see Enable OpenVPN service  
on the router on page 158).  
Install OpenVPN client software and configuration files on your device from which  
you want to use VPN (see Install OpenVPN software on a VPN client on page 159).  
Run the OpenVPN client software on your device when you want to use a VPN  
connection.  
Enabling OpenVPN on your router allows VPN connections between the router and a  
client, for example your laptop when you are away from home. The router provides the  
VPN service and the laptop is the VPN client. Traffic between the router and the laptop  
is encrypted. You can also use a VPN connection to remotely access a USB storage  
device attached to your router without enabling the FTP or HTTPS (via Internet) functions.  
NOTE: The router itself does not function as a VPN client to an external VPN  
service provider, so it does not encrypt traffic passing between your home  
network and the Internet.  
VPN can use either Dynamic DNS (DDNS) or a static IP address to connect with your  
router:  
To use a DDNS service, register for a DDNS account with a host name. You use the  
host name to access your network. The router supports these DDNS accounts:  
NETGEAR, No-IP, and Dyn. For more information, see Set up and manage Dynamic  
DNS on page 149.  
If your Internet service provider (ISP) assigned a static WAN IP address that never  
changes, the VPN can use that IP address to connect to your home network.  
LAN IP addressing in VPN networks  
For the VPN connection to work, your computer or device (the VPN client) must be  
connected to a network that uses a different LAN IP address scheme than your router.  
The default LAN IP address scheme for the router is 192.168.1.x. (The most common IP  
schemes are 192.168.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 where your VPN client  
device is connected.

Network
