Set Up VPN Client Internet Access in the Modem Router

By default, the router is set up to allow VPN connections only to your home network,
but you can change the settings to allow Internet access. Accessing the Internet remotely
through a VPN might be slower than accessing the Internet directly.

To allow VPN clients to use your home Internet service:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the

router network.

2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.

A login window opens.

3. Enter the modem router user name and password.

The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.

The BASIC Home page displays.

4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > VPN Service.

The VPN page displays.

5. Select the Enable VPN Service radio button.

6. Scroll down to the Clients will use this VPN connection to access section, and select

the All sites on the Internet & Home Network radio button.
When you access the Internet with the VPN connection, instead of using a local
Internet service, you use the Internet service from your home network.

7. Click the Apply button.

Your settings are saved.

8. Click the For Windows or For Non Windows button and download the configuration

files for your VPN clients.

9. Unzip the configuration files and copy them to the folder where the VPN client is

installed on your device.
For a client device with Windows 64-bit system, the VPN client is installed at

C:\Program files\OpenVPN\config\

by default.

By default, the router is set up to allow VPN connections only to your home network,
not to the Internet service for your home network. If you changed this setting to allow
Internet access, you can change it back.
