Setup VPN to Home USG FLEX 500H

leopold

Hi everyone, could someone help me configure a VPN connection from my Zyxel firewall so I can connect from home? I’ve already purchased the VPN license, but I’m not sure how to set it up correctly. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @leopold,

The H series supports SSL (with OpenVPN Connect or SecuExtender clients) and IKEv2 (with Windows Native VPN or SecuExtender clients) for remote access VPN.

For detailed information, you can refer to the instructions below to see which one matches your VPN client and scenario:

• How to Configure SSL VPN connection with OpenVPN Connect client? — Zyxel Community
• How to Configure Remote Access VPN with Zyxel VPN Client — Zyxel Community
• Alternatively, check the USG FLEX 500H Handbook (pages 36–54), which covers how to configure remote access VPN.

If you'd like us to provide more specific instructions, please share details about your network topology and environment. For example,

• What operating system are you using on your home device (e.g., Windows 11, macOS)?
• Do you prefer using the SecuExtender client software, or a native OS VPN client (e.g., Windows Native VPN)?
