Chapter 11 Specify Your Network Settings
11. 11. Set up a VPN Connection
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a private network established across the public network,
generally via the internet. However, the private network is a logical network without any
physical network lines, so it is called Virtual Private Network.
With the wide application of the internet, more and more data need to be shared through
the internet. Connecting the local network to the internet directly, though can allow the
data exchange, will cause the private data to be exposed to all the users on the internet.
11. 11. 1. Use OpenVPN to Access Your Home Network
In the OpenVPN connection, the home network can act as a server, and the remote
device can access the server through the router which acts as an OpenVPN Server
gateway. To use the VPN feature, you should enable OpenVPN Server on your router,
and install and run VPN client software on the remote device. Please follow the steps
below to set up an OpenVPN connection.
