OpenVPN is a free VPN (virtual private network) service that allows you to remotely access your Home network from anywhere with an open internet service. OpenVPN is a multiplatform service that works with both Android and iOS operating systems, allowing you to access devices and services in use through your router.

This article will take you through the steps needed to create and establish an OpenVPN connection with your TP-Link router.

*Note:

Verify router/modem has a public WAN IP address that is not bounded by ISP; if it’s a private IP address, that means the router/modem is behind a NAT, please open the ports for the router/modem on the NAT.

But for the CG-NAT ISP: Comporium and Direct link — radio service, provide the customer a private IP, that will cause you can’t use the OpenVPN and affect the NAT Type. You can contact the ISP and ask them to offer a Statis IP address.

Setting Up OpenVPN on a TP-Link Router
(This example uses the Archer C5400)

Step 1: Log into your router at tplinkwifi.net. The default username and password are admin.

Step 2: Click Advanced on the top navigation bar.

Step 3: Click VPN Server, then OpenVPN.

Step 4: Click Certificate to generate a certificate.

Note: This step must be completed before enabling OpenVPN.

Step 5: Check the Enable VPN Server box, then fill in the following information as prompted. Click Save.

Note: What you select for Client Access will determine the content you are able to view over the VPN. Internet and Home Network will allow you to use your home internet service as well as access to your network shares. Home Network Only solely grants access to your network’s shared files and drives without home internet service accessibility.

Step 6: Click Export to download the configuration file to your computer.

Connecting OpenVPN (PC)

Step 1: Open your browser and navigate to https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/.

Step 2: Click Downloads, then click the link corresponding your Windows version.

Step 3: Download and run the installer.

Step 4: Find the Certificate in your download folder and copy the file.

Note: The file name may differ for each router.

Step 5: Paste the config file into the config folder located in the OpenVPN directory.

Step 6: Launch the program. A Quick launch icon will appear in your taskbar. Right-click the icon and select Connect.

Step 7: If connection is successful, you will see the following message.

You are now connected to your home network via VPN. To verify, you can visit the VPN connections window in your router settings.

A lot of small businesses are using consumer grade routers and networking equipment these days. With good reason. If you only have a three to five person office and everyone connects via Wi-Fi, basically just to access internet services and one local file server, you really don’t need much else.

The best consumer grade routers I’ve worked with in recent years are the TP-Link Archer series. They are built for home use, but have some advanced features that lend themselves to today’s remote workplace.

One feature is their ability to be used as an OpenVPN server that you can connect to from the outside, letting you access your home servers, or company assets. It’s pretty easy to set up and the clients are super simple to deploy.

Setup OpenVPN Server with TP-Link Router

Before starting, please set up Dynamic DNS on your router. OpenVPN will not work without it. ‘

Note: I am using a TP-Link Archer A7 AC1750 as a reference. Your menus may be different depending on model and age of your router.

Step 1 – Log into the web interface for your router.

Step 2 – Click on the Advanced Tab and Scroll down until you see “VPN Server”. Select OpenVPN.

Step 3 – Check the “Enable VPN Server” checkbox. Everything can be left as default.

If you want the VPN client to only access your network and use its own internet select “Home Network Only”. If you want all traffic, including internet, to be sent through the VPN connection select “Internet and Home Network”.

Click Save

Step 4 – Click “Generate Certificate”. It will take a few minutes to generate a certificate. Wait until it is finished to move on.

Step 5 – Once the certificate is generated, click the “Export” under the “Export Configuration” Section.

Make sure you put the .OVPN file it downloads somewhere you remember. You’ll need it when you deploy a client.

Note: Once you’re done you’ll need to deploy the clients. I will post a detailed article on how to do that soon and link it here. The concept is pretty simple though. You need an OpenVPN compatible client for the operating system you’re working with. In most of those, you simply import a profile and select the OVPN file you downloaded from the router. It does all the work for you. Then you can connect

TP-Link Archer WiFi routers are a great choice for home office and small business users alike. With impressive WiFi performance and full support for OpenVPN connections, setting up VPN for your home or office network has never been easier.

In this guide, we take you through the key technical specification of one of the most popular models, the TP-Link Archer A9 and show you how to configure an OpenVPN connection on your TP-Link Archer WiFi router and connect on Mac, iPhone and iPad.

Tech specs

Series: TP-Link Archer WiFi Routers

Model: A9 (AC1900)

Supported VPN protocols: OpenVPN, PPTP

Suitable for: Home Office users

WiFi capability: Dual-Band

Set up OpenVPN on a TP-Link Archer Router

Setting up an OpenVPN server on your TP-Link Archer router is simple and can be completed in three steps.

Step one: Generate OpenVPN certificate

To get started, log into the web interface of your TP-Link Archer router. Then, switch to the Advanced tab and go to VPN Server > OpenVPN. Here you will see your OpenVPN configuration options.

The first step is to generate the certificate for the OpenVPN server. Go to the section Certificate and click Generate:

Generate the OpenVPN certificate

After a few minutes, your certificate will be generated and you can enable the OpenVPN server.

Step two: Enable OpenVPN server

Check the box Enable VPN server and fill in the settings as shown in the screenshot, making sure to provide the subnet you are using for the VPN.

Click to save your settings:

Step three: Export your configuration

Finally, go to the section Configuration File, where you can export your OpenVPN connection with all your settings, ready to connect in the VPN client:

Step four (optional): Set up Dynamic DNS

If you don’t have a permanent, static IP address from your ISP (internet service provider), we recommend setting up Dynamic DNS (DDNS).

What is Dynamic DNS?

DDNS is a service that automatically updates DNS records whenever your dynamic IP address updates. For many (e.g. home or small business users), it’s a convenient alternative to registering for a fixed IP address, which can often be expensive.

Especially when setting up a VPN server, it’s a low-effort way to ensure your IP address will always be updated, meaning you don’t have to manually update the connection whenever your IP address changes – which can be anything from every few days to every few months. Learn more →

To configure DDNS on your TP-Link Archer, stay in the Advanced tab and go to Network > Dynamic DNS.

Here you will see the DDNS services supported by your router (e.g. NO-IP or DynDNS), you also have the opportunity to use TP-Link’s own Dynamic DNS service. If you already have an account, enter your login details in this view:

Log in with your DDNS credentials

Alternatively, click the link to set up an account with one of the supported providers:

Once you have completed the VPN setup on your TP-Link Archer router, you can go ahead and get connected on your Mac, iPhone or iPad.
