'''Prerequisites''':
'''Prerequisites''':
* Two RUTX routers
* Two RUTX routers (only the versions, which have WiFi)
* A Public Static or Public Dynamic IP addresses
* A Public Static or Public Dynamic IP address
* An end device to configure the router (PC, Laptop, Tablet, Smartphone)
* An end device to configure the router (PC, Laptop, Tablet, Smartphone)
The topology above depicts the OpenVPN scheme. The router with the Public IP address ('''RUTX''') acts as the '''OpenVPN server''' and other '''RUTX''' acts as '''client'''. OpenVPN connects the networks of '''HQ Office''' and '''Remote Office'''. '''Remote Office''' will also have a separate WiFi AP for guests.

When the scheme is realized, remote office workers will be able to reach HQ’s internal network with all internal systems by connecting to the router via LAN port or by connecting to WiFi AP, which is used for work. All remote office's WAN and LAN traffic is going to travel through VPN tunnel. There will also be a separate WiFi AP for guests, by connecting to it they will only be able to reach WAN, but they won't be able to reach HQ’s internal network.

All traffic apart guest WiFi is going to travel through VPN tunnel. Guest network traffic will go directly to WAN, it will give visitors access to the Internet connection, but nothing else making your company a lot more secure.

Remote office should now be able to access HQ network resources. To verify the connection you can ping remote RUTX HQ server LAN IP and if you get a reply, you have successfully connected to HQ‘s internal network. Also, all LAN addresses, that belong to work network (192.168.1.0/24), should now be leased to LAN devices by HQ router.
