Ok. Thank you for the response and answer. I was just concerned that the use of Merlin as my firmware might be different than stock ASUS firmware instructions. Thank you. I will remove the node and Search/Add from within the main Merlin based router.

SOLVED. That was definitely the last issue! Thank you again ColinTaylor!

Dude, you are amazing. Appreciate all the work you went through helping me here. I will do that now. (I was afraid to hit that "Default" setting, being concerned it would mess up the router)

I am currently experiencing issues getting OpenVPN working properly. Still not able to set the OpenVPN client to use the recommended security level: Preferred. I have set up the OpenVPN server by selecting: RSA 2048 bit, selected apply, then generated a new OpenVPN client. Yet still, the...

Newby here. When I set up my new Merlin based Routers and added Mesh nodes, the instructions were to make sure the nodes were using the latest firmware, reboot to factory settings, do NOT log into the node but instead let the main Router find and add them as Mesh nodes. Now I am getting a...

Holy heck Batman. Just like you said. Thank you. Ok, I will start testing with this new setting now.

I do not have that option showing.

I am just not finding RSA Encryption = 2048 bit. VPN Server - General1 - Even when I select advanced settings. (apologies for being a pain)

I noticed that I am unable to connect from the client when I select the "Preferred (Recommended)" security level. But I can connect with the Legacy security level. The client error code states: Connection Failed. OpenSSLContext: SSL_CTX_use_certificate failed: error: 0A00018F:SSL...

SOLVED! Like a charm! Removed the @ character, reloaded the client configuration and BAM! connects right up! Thank you for the help!

Thank you for the reply. The OpenVPN Server generated that remote address. It is my DDNS entry and my host name entry is @ and my Domain Name is bigbadw.org. I will go into the client and take the @ character out and see if that works?

Thank you for this information. I deleted the client installed configuration on my iPhone, then went through the settings you recommended. I tried each of the three options repeating a clean install of the client. So far none have worked (even the insecure mode). I am sure it is something so...

Ok, I have a clean install on the router and iPhone. Here are two log files of my current attempt. (logs deleted since no longer needed)

Thank you for this. I did spend some time looking at tailscale. I am hoping to get OpenVPN working since my needs are so small and it is built into the Router / Merlin software. If I can't get it working, tailscale will probably be my next move.

I have spent the last few days (since being told to investigate CGNAT) trying to understand if my provider is in fact causing this because of CGNAT. From everything I am reading, my provider (Xfinity) is not the issue. Others seem to be able to use OpenVPN. Due to my constant experiments, I...
