Hi. I have an N66U on 378.56_2 running an OpenVPN server which works perfectly for my uses.

Normally, to configure OpenVPN clients I just use the .ovpn file generated by the router and things just work.

But now I've run into a snag configuring a DDWRT router (TPLINK TL-WR10 running
DD-WRT v3.0-r29440 std (04/11/16)). DDWRT doesn't let you upload .ovpn files and makes you configure the VPN's settings manually. I figured I could just use a text editor to look at the .ovpn file and copy/paste the corresponding values, but I must be missing some things because when I check DDWRTs vpn status, it just stays on "WAIT".

I was hoping someone could help me out configuring these settings correctly. I've done a whole bunch of trial and error but nothing seems to help.

Sorry if this is a bit too "help with my homework" but I really have tried to solve it on my own! :D

This is DDWRT's OpenVPN settings page:

And these are the contents of my .ovpn file:

Code:
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote MYDOMAIN.COM 1194
float
comp-lzo adaptive
keepalive 15 60
auth-user-pass
ns-cert-type server
