'''OpenVPN''' is an open-source software application that implements virtual private network (VPN) techniques for creating secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections in routed or bridged configurations and remote access facilities. This section is an overview of the OpenVPN section of RUT routers. For a more in depth guide refer to our '''[[OpenVPN configuration examples]]''' page.
The default OpenVPN Configuration list is empty, so you have to define your own configuration to establish any sort of OpenVPN connection. OpenVPN configurations can have one of two roles: '''client''' or '''server'''. Let’s start with an OpenVPN client. To create it, enter the desired instance name in the '''New configuration name''' field, select the instance’s role from the '''Role''' list and press the '''Add New''' button.
