enable and configure OpenVPN service in the router (see Enable OpenVPN service
in the router on page 142).
NOTE: If you later change the OpenVPN configuration in the router (for
example, you change the TUN or TAP port number), you must download
and install the .ovpn configuration file again on each client, depending on
its operating system. If you change the TUN port number in the router, the
.ovpn configuration file for Mac and non-Windows clients changes. If you
change the TAP port number in the router, the .ovpn configuration file for
Windows clients changes.
