Device VPN Settings

---

This page describes the VPN status and per-device settings available for an individual device.

Device VPN Status

Important

To connect a device to VPN, the WebAccess/DMP Client Router App version 3.2.0 or later must be installed.

The VPN connection status of a device is visible:

• In the device page header.
• Via the VPN Connected field on the dashboard.
• On the VPN Network detail page when the device is part of a network.

On the router itself, you can check the VPN connection status in the WebAccess/DMP Client Router App:

VPN Tab on the Device Detail Page

In the device's VPN tab, you can configure the following options:

1. VPN Enabled — Enable or disable the device's VPN client.

   • When disabled, the device disconnects from VPN and stops routing VPN traffic.
   • When enabled, it reconnects and resumes secure communication.

   

2. Networks — Add or remove the device from VPN networks, controlling which devices can communicate with it.

   

3. VPN Subnet — Configure how many virtual IP addresses are assigned to the device.

   • Changing this setting reassigns IP addresses.
   • All existing Proxy links are removed.

   

4. Exposed Interfaces — Define which router interfaces are accessible over VPN.

   

5. Data Usage This Month — View the device's VPN data usage history.

   

Proxy Links

1. Enable or disable the Proxy link using the toggle switch. Disabling a Proxy does not delete it.

2. Add additional Proxy links by specifying:

   • Proxy Type — Router or LAN Device.
   • Name — Proxy link name.
   • Protocol — HTTP or HTTPS.
   • Port — Target port.
   • Expiration Date — Automatically deletes the Proxy after expiration.

   This is useful when accessing a device with a web interface behind the router via VPN. You must know the local network address of the target device.

   

3. Proxy links can be edited or deleted directly from the device.

Caution

Adding a Proxy link exposes the service to the Internet. The corresponding LAN interface is automatically exposed in the Interfaces section.

Additional notes:

• Proxy configuration changes may take up to 3 minutes to propagate.
• File uploads through a VPN Proxy link are limited to 256 MB.
• Known issue: Proxy links do not work with firmware versions 6.5.0 and 6.5.1. Upgrade the firmware to resolve this.

Interfaces

In the Interfaces section, you can:

1. Expose or unexpose an interface — Disabling exposure blocks VPN traffic to devices behind the interface. VPN subnet changes may reassign Proxy link IP addresses.

   

2. Access the Local Address Translator (NAT) — The interface must be exposed to access NAT configuration.

   

Connection History

In the Device Connection History section, you can:

• Track when the device connected or disconnected during the selected month.
• View VPN connection events separately in the VPN Connection History.
