How to Set up OpenVPN Server on TP Link Router
0If you're looking to set up an OpenVPN server on your TP-Link router, this tutorial will walk you through the entire process, from enabling VPN settings on the router to configuring your Windows PC to connect securely. Using OpenVPN allows you to access your home network remotely and safely, encrypting your internet traffic and maintaining privacy when connected over public networks.
To begin, log in to your TP-Link router’s web interface by visiting [https://tplinkwifi.net/](https://tplinkwifi.net/) in a browser. Enter your admin username and password. Once inside, click on the Advanced tab from the top navigation menu. Under VPN Server*, choose *OpenVPN from the sidebar.
Before enabling the VPN, you’ll need to fill in some basic information like the service port and the VPN subnet. After completing these fields, check the box to enable the OpenVPN server. Then, click on Export to download the OpenVPN configuration file—this file contains the necessary settings and security certificates for your PC to connect to the router.
Next, move to your Windows PC. Open a browser and visit [https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/](https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/) to download the official OpenVPN client software. Choose the version that matches your operating system and run the installer. After installation, locate the OpenVPN configuration folder on your PC—usually found in `C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config`. Paste the previously downloaded configuration file from your router into this folder.
Now launch the OpenVPN client. You should see a new icon in your taskbar. Right-click it and choose *Connect*. If everything is configured correctly, a successful connection message will appear, confirming that your Windows PC is now securely connected to your home network through the TP-Link OpenVPN server.
