of one computer:
•
Any
(the default) allows any computer on the Internet to use this service.
•
Single address
restricts the service to a particular computer.

In the
Triggering Port
field, enter the number of the outbound traffic port that will open the
inbound ports.

12.
Click the
Apply
button.
The service is now in the Portmap Table. You must enable port triggering before the
router used port triggering for the service that you added. See

Enable Port Triggering
To enable port triggering:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your Orbi
network.

6.
Clear the

check box.
If this check box is selected, the router does not use port triggering even if you specified
port triggering settings.
7.
In the
Port Triggering Timeout
field, enter a value up to 9999 minutes.
This value controls how long the inbound ports stay open when the router detects no
activity. This value is required because the router cannot detect when the application
terminates.
Application Example: Port Triggering for Internet Relay Chat
Some application servers, such as FTP and IRC servers, send replies to multiple port
numbers. Using port triggering, you can tell the router to open more incoming ports when a
particular outgoing port starts a session.
An example is Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Your computer connects to an IRC server at
destination port 6667. The IRC server not only responds to your originating source port, but
also sends an “identify” message to your computer on port 113. Using port triggering, you can
tell the router, “When you initiate a session with destination port 6667, you must also allow
incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer.” The following sequence
shows the effects of the port triggering rule you define:
1.
You open an IRC client program to start a chat session on your computer.

2.
Your IRC client composes a request message to an IRC server using a destination port
number of 6667, the standard port number for an IRC server process. Your computer then
sends this request message to your router.
3.
Your router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this communication
session between your computer and the IRC server. Your router stores the original
information, performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source address and port,
and sends this request message through the Internet to the IRC server.
4.
Noting your port triggering rule and observing the destination port number of 6667, your
router creates another session entry to send any incoming port 113 traffic to your computer.
5.
The IRC server sends a return message to your router using the NAT-assigned source port
(for example, port 33333) as the destination port. The IRC server also sends an “identify”
message to your router with destination port 113.
6.
When your router receives the incoming message to destination port 33333, it checks its
session table to see if a session is active for port number 33333. Finding an active session,
the router restores the original address information replaced by NAT and sends this reply
message to your computer.
7.
When your router receives the incoming message to destination port 113, it checks its
session table and finds an active session for port 113 associated with your computer. The
router replaces the message’s destination IP address with your computer’s IP address and
forwards the message to your computer.
8.
When you finish your chat session, your router eventually senses a period of inactivity in the
communications. The router then removes the session information from its session table,
and incoming traffic is no longer accepted on port numbers 33333 or 113.

Use VPN to Access Your Network
You can use OpenVPN software to remotely access your router using virtual private networking
(VPN). This chapter explains how to set up and use VPN access.
This chapter includes the following sections:
•
Set Up a VPN Connection
•
Install OpenVPN Software
•
Use a VPN Tunnel on Your Windows Computer
•
Use VPN to Access Your Internet Service at Home

Set Up a VPN Connection
A virtual private network (VPN) lets you use the Internet to securely access your network
when you aren’t home.

Figure 13. VPN provides a secure tunnel between your home network and a remote computer
This type of VPN access is called a client-to-gateway tunnel. The computer is the client, and
the router is the gateway. To use the VPN feature, you must log in to the router and enable
VPN, and you must install and run VPN client software on the computer.
VPN uses DDNS or a static IP address to connect with your router.
To use a DDNS service, register for an account with a host name (sometimes called a
domain name). You use the host name to access your network. The router supports these
accounts: NETGEAR, No-IP, and Dyn.
If your Internet service provider (ISP) assigned a static WAN IP address (such as 50.196.x.x
or 10.x.x.x) that never changes to your Internet account, the VPN can use that IP address to
connect to your home network.
Specify VPN Service in the Router
You must specify the VPN service settings in the router before you can use a VPN
connection.
To specify the VPN service:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your Orbi
network.
2.
Enter
orbilogin.com
.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router admin user name and password.
