This tutorial will show you how to manually configure a VPN on your Netduma R2 router using the OpenVPN protocol. If you are using Netduma R1, follow this tutorial.

Not all ExpressVPN locations may be available for manually configured connections.

On the right, you will see your username, password, and a list of OpenVPN configuration files.

Click the location(s) you want to connect to. The corresponding .ovpn file(s) will be downloaded to your device.

2. Configure your Netduma R2 router

To access the Netduma admin dashboard, open a web browser and enter 192.168.77.1 into the address bar. If your router’s IP address was changed in the past, or if you cannot remember it, you can find it in your device’s settings.

Sign in with your username and password. By default, the username is admin and the password is password.

In the left sidebar, click Hybrid VPN.

Click VPN SETUP.

Click Advanced. Enter the following:

• Username: Enter the username you found earlier.
• Password: Enter the password you found earlier.
• Configuration: Right-click the .ovpn config file you downloaded earlier. Open it with a text editor (Notepad for Windows, TextEdit for Mac). Copy the entire text and paste it in this field.

Click CONNECT.

Under VPN Setup, toggle Enable and Block Traffic If VPN Disconnects on.

If you are connected to the VPN successfully, you will see “Connected” next to Status.

After that, you will need to connect your devices to the VPN.

On the right, under VPN Traffic, click ADD DEVICE.

Select which devices will use the VPN, then click DONE.

You will see the devices that are connected to the VPN under VPN Traffic.

To verify you are connected, you can use ExpressVPN’s IP Address Checker to check your IP address. If your VPN connection is successful, the IP address shown will correlate to the location you are connected to via the VPN.
