# OpenVPN

A fully functional OpenVPN module has been included in the firmware by default. You can follow the below steps to configure the OpenVPN module to connect the router to the VPN provider's server.

1. After accessing the router, go to `Services` > `OpenVPN`. 
2. In the Text field at the bottom of the page, enter the name of the configuration (e.g., *MyVPN*).
3. From the drop-down menu, select “`Simple client configuration for a routed point-to-point VPN`” and click `Add`.
