Quick Start Guide for OpenVPN WAN with special firmware 8.1.0s024

NOTE:
The OpenVPN WAN is available as a standard feature (*with optional license) started from firmware 8.1.1GA, you may download the latest GA from the firmware download page.

Step 1: Prior to the configuration, please upgrade the device with the special firmware 8.1.0s024, this firmware version specifically includes our new OpenVPN WAN feature. Next, please visit Store (or via other purchase channels) to acquire the OpenVPN WAN License.

Step 2: Once the license obtained, you can choose to let InControl2 push the license key to the device automatically provided that the device is connected/online in IC2. Or, if you opt to enter the feature activation key manually, please go to System > Feature Add-ons to paste the license key, then click the [Activate] button.

Step 3: A notification will display if the feature is activated successfully. Please reboot the unit to continue as instructed.

Step 4: The new WAN (default name “OpenVPN WAN 1”) will appear after the device rebooted (firmware 8.1.0s024). Click on that WAN to continue with configuration.

Step 5: Follow the highlighted instructions for the mandatory parameters, you may leave other settings on default. Click [Save] once you are finished filling in the highlighted settings. Click on the [Apply Changes] button to save your settings and to activate the OpenVPN WAN.

Step 6: The router will attempt to contact the OpenVPN server and negotiate to establish the connection. Once negotiation is successful, it will be connected (as shown below). The router is now connected to OpenVPN WAN.

Step 7: Once it is connected, a simple PING test can be performed as a verification process. Please select the “OpenVPN WAN 1” as the Connection.

Step 8: Done! OpenVPN WAN is successfully configured and working on the router now.

For a high-availability pair, do I need two licenses (one for each) or just one (and it’ll carry over to the slave if the master fails)?

Cheers,

Z

You need two licenses, OpenVPN WAN license does not carry over to slave.

If I bind the OpenVPN to a certain uplink, e.g. Wi-Fi WAN on 2.4Ghz, then both (WiFi WAN on 2.4 GHz, and OpenVPN WAN 1) will be active in the connection status – how can I be sure that all traffic using this uplink is going through the VPN and not directly through the WiFi WAN on 2.4 GHz?

Set an outbound policy to enforce the network traffic or other criteria to use the openvpn wan.
