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.

• 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.
