You must enable OpenVPN and specify the OpenVPN service settings on your router
before you or someone else can set up a remote VPN connection using OpenVPN.
Note: After you configure OpenVPN on the router, make sure that the VPN configuration
files are installed on the remote clients. If you make changes to the OpenVPN
configuration on the router, the VPN configuration files that the remote clients use might
change, requiring new VPN configuration files to be downloaded and installed on the
remote clients.

router network.
