Step by step instructions to connect your Sabai OS based router to an OpenVPN connection is given below.
- Begin by connecting your router based on the Sabai OS with your device, PC/laptop through wireless network connection mode or using the ethernet cable.
- Now, you need to access the web interface of your router, for which, you need to enter “192.168.1.1” in the address bar. Here, you will be prompted for the log in credentials to get access to the interface.
- After logging in, you will see a menu bar on the left hand side of the window, where you need to click on the ‘OpenVPN’ option, under the ‘Network option to initiate the process for OpenVPN configuration.
- You will get an option to upload a file for configuring your router for the desired VPN connection. Here, you should upload the configuration file for the OpenVPN connection that will be provided to you by your VPN service provider. You can find the link to download the configuration file in the welcome mail or by logging in to the customer area.
- After you select the file to be uploaded through the interface, you will have to wait for some time to get the file uploaded to the router.
- After the configuration file is uploaded to the router, all the buttons like ‘Start’, ‘Stop’, ‘Erase’ and others will get activated that you can use to modify or use the connection.
- To erase the configuration file, uploaded to the router, you need to click on the ‘erase’ button. This is helpful, in case, when you need to modify the configuration of the connection, in order to connect to a different VPN service providing an access to the OpenVPN connection.
- To connect to the OpenVPN server of your choice, you need to click on the ‘start’ button, which will initiate the process to establish a connection with the VPN server.
- After connecting successfully to the server, you will get an indication at the top right corner of the screen in the form of a message. The status message displayed after connecting with the server reads as “VPN is up via OpenVPN”. Along with this message, you will see your changed IP address and its location that you can use to verify your anonymity.
- After this step, you are done with the configuration of your Sabai OS based router to be used for connecting to an OpenVPN connection.
- Your router is pre-configured with the values of the wireless SSID and its password that you use it to connect to the router. However, you can use these values to add more security to the wireless network of your router.
- To change these values, you need to click on the ‘basic’ option under the ‘network’ option available on the sidebar at the left side of the screen. Now change the values for ‘SSID’ and ‘Shared key’ fields and click on ‘save’ to let these changes take effect.
Thus, this guide helps you configure your Sabai OS router to be used for connecting to an OpenVPN connection.
