To everyone who doesn't understand the point of this, it's a self hosted OpenVPN server so you can use a public network (think coffee shop or airport) anywhere in the world and open an encrypted VPN connection to your home network (so from a technical perspective it's like your computer is still in the safety of your home). This is much safer than using a sketchy public network like at a airport and lets you safely connect to your home computers for file sharing or RDP.

To all the people trying to route their entire home internet traffic through VPN service like NordVPN, I don't know why you'd want your entire network behind a security VPN that often destroys the internet bandwidth that you're paying for. I suggest you use software on the client you're using to connect to your VPN service. Pre-configured software usually comes with the VPN service.

You connecting to open vpn on the same local network, defeats the purpose of the VPN. Show how you connect to the VPN outside the local network / same router.

I just bought a Deco X50-PoE and was fully expecting to be able to do what I saw on this video. However, the web interface is totally different, and does not have much of what saw in this video, much less anything related to a VPN setup (client or server, both of which I am needing). What am I doing wrong? Or do I need to return these?

I wonder when we have dynamic Ip in your router ? will open vpn support from remote ?

When I try to make this setup I keep getting Error code: 86500 Wan not connected, you have to re-export client.ovpn or change your current client.ovpn when wan is connected . I m trying on a TP Link Archer VR2110v

I followed everything perfectly, but on the final step the connection is timing out. What am I doing wrong?

[GuillermoDelBosto]

on the openvpn app it ask for a Username and password, what are those exactly ?

Thank you for this wonderful video. But on my case I get internet connection through a static ip, and my public ip is different than the static ip provided by the ISP. I am using local fiber cable broadband. Now after this setup if I give my router ip to the open vpn config then it's working fine but for public ip it is not. I have tried port forwarding ss well. Any help is much appreciated.

[raymondantoine]

Hi, how can i configure user and password for OpenVPN connection?? Port?? I had this option on my old Asus router.

[cerebralmods]

this may be a silly question, but where is this vpn server? how is it hosted? is it managed by tp link in a different country? does jt have no logs etc? or is it us creating our own server within the router but it is all coming from this router? how are speeds, traffic, logs all managed if this is the case compared to vpn providers like nord, cyberghost and express vpn? really confused as to how the vpn server on tp link works. i have got my head around the vpn client feature but not server.

This is pointless...I have openVPN on Amazon, I want all traffic to route through this, when connected to the router...this is just connecting 1 machine

You also need to include tap adapter because we still need to access some local machines but whitout tap you can t actually connect to it.
