Tech 9 are you aware of the following error when using Merlin’s .ovpn import config file function? It used to work fine but now it simply gives off this error when attempting to connect to the server after importing said file.

Has this been resolved? I’m getting the same issue

Hi! Will Apple Private Relay be fixed in the next version? @RMerlin

Yep. I was actually able to make that work last night (AX86U). Thank you!

Looks like in the latest update to the Router App on iOS today, this is now possible. Does your software support this? Or nothing needs to be done. Thank you.

Ok that worked. Thanks! *I at first just re-exported the certificate. Didn’t think I needed to recreate it from some reason.

Hi! Thank you for this guide. I was wondering what would be the recommended settings for the very latest firmware (386.1). I did follow quite a few guides here which were super helpful so if no one feels like giving full details I’m honestly mostly interested in the HMAC authentication setting...

Why did you chose Default for HMAC instead of SHA1?

What are the recommended settings for each one of the line items found within the Open VPN Advanced Settings menu? Thank you

So if you chose TLS then there should be some value for the Static Key box? Mine is empty. Also, what do you recommend the values to be when choosing Advanced Settings for the Open VPN?
