What router and what version of firmware are you using? This guide if for TorGuard, but it has helped PIA customers. Please let me know if it works for you as well.Very little out there and it's frustrating because it seems that StrongVPN is suppressing the information because they sell Asus routers preinstalled with openvpn setting.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Not sure about Sabai OS...But on ASUS Merlin,Tried both of your tips guys but it isn't working.
Xentrk: i'm on a ac68u, and I applied the changes you mentioned in part2
No matter what I try the "on" switch wont stick
any other suggestions?
Delete just the following entries from the custom config
hand-windows 30
register-dns
route-method exe
route-metric 1
In the gui, make sure
Cipher negotiation is set to disabled
Compression is set to LZO Adaptive
Accept DNS configuration is set to Strict
Give this a try. If this works, then try setting
Accept DNS configuration to Exclusive
Folks,
I tried to get OpenVPN working with my Asus RT-AC68U today. No luck. In a chat session StrongVPN, I was told that OpenVPN does not work well with stock Asus firmware. The StongVPN rep. urged me to install Merlin on my Asus router.

I did not pursue this. It was not convenient to install Merlin on that particular router, so I used a different VPN protocol to get StrongVPN going there. PPTP or some such.Same results, did you find a solution?

By the way, I have Merlin installed on a different RT-AC68U and it is working fine. If you are going to pursue this solution, please post your results here. I would like to know if the StrongVPN rep. was telling the truth.
I'm on Merlin 380.68 and its not working...
can you post your config and custom settings?
Im pretty sure it was working, suddenly its not.
It is very simple and straight forward.
1. Pick which server you want to use.
2. Download the OVPN file that is for LINUX/MAC which also is listed for manual router setup.
3. Use the username and password that StrongVPN gave you for that configuration. It is not your user name and password for StrongVPN and changes when you change servers.
4. Start.
Already done that, not working, is it working with you?

It has been working for 39 days nonstop without a glitch. I have been using StrongVPN since May without issues, but after trying PIA it is faster so it will be my primary VPN client.
Can you please try it now?
