## Overview

The **VPN Server** tab manages the inbound side of VPN on this router: the
servers listening for connections, and the user accounts that can dial in. A
stat strip at the top counts active tunnels, servers, clients and protocols,
and the whole page refreshes every five seconds.

Below the strip are two sections. **VPN Servers** lists what is listening;
**VPN Users** lists credentials, which are shared across all servers rather
than tied to one.

## Before you start

- A router set up through Easy Config in Dual-Link mode with the VPN Server
  step enabled already has one OpenVPN server and one user.
- Deleting a server also removes what belongs to it, and for OpenVPN that means
  its users, IP pool, profile and certificates; for WireGuard, its peers and IP
  address.

## Steps

1. Open the **VPN Server** tab.
2. To add a server, press **Add server** on the **VPN Servers** section and fill
   in the dialog.
3. Click a server row to open its details, or use the row's edit button, which opens a
   WireGuard server opens its interface editor.
4. To add an account, press **Add user** on the **VPN Users** section.
5. Use the search boxes to filter either list, and the pagination controls to
   page through them.
6. To delete, press the row's delete button and confirm in the **Delete VPN
   server** or **Delete VPN user** dialog.

## Reference

### Stat strip

| Card | What it counts |
| ---- | -------------- |
| **Active Tunnels** | Tunnels currently up. |
| **Servers** | Configured servers, with the active count underneath. |
| **Clients** | Connected clients, with the active count underneath. |
| **Protocols** | Distinct protocols in use across servers and clients. |

### Sections

| Section | Description in the UI | Actions |
| ------- | --------------------- | ------- |
| **VPN Servers** | Listen for inbound VPN connections. | **Add server**, search, edit, delete |
| **VPN Users** | Manage credentials shared across all VPN servers. | **Add user**, search, edit, delete |

## Troubleshooting

**"Failed to load VPN".** The panel could not read servers, users or clients
off the router. Check the router is reachable and the credentials are valid.

**Add and delete buttons are disabled.** The session has no credentials for
this router. Reconnect from the Routers list.
