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 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.

Device VPN status

On the router itself, you can check the VPN connection status in the 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.

    VPN Enabled option

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

    Networks option

  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.

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.

    Adding a proxy link

  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 ​

Router interfaces are listed in the Interfaces panel on the device's Monitoring tab, showing each interface's link state and local IPv4/IPv6 addresses. From this panel you can:

  • Expose or unexpose an interface using the Exposed toggle. Unexposing blocks VPN traffic to devices behind the interface, and VPN subnet changes may reassign Proxy link IP addresses.
  • Open an interface's detail (the action in the last column) to view its settings, including the Local Address Translator (NAT). An interface must be exposed to configure NAT.

Connection History ​

A device's connection history is available on the Monitoring tab through the Gantt Chart widget. Add a Gantt Chart to the Monitoring tab and select a field such as Connection Status to visualize when the device was connected or disconnected over time.
