    OpenVPN Can't Connect from LAN

    DonnyJohnny nailed it, thanks! I made the simple custom configuration DDNS entry: local (ddns name) and it works from LAN now too. The CPU utilization is clearly higher with Core 2 now hitting 100% vs. <30% working on OEM, but that artifact is not terribly concerning. I don't understand...

    OpenVPN Can't Connect from LAN

    I deleted the float entry, but got the same result unfortunately. Thank-you though. I also tried an .ovpn file from the Merlin firmware (former was from the Asus firmware), and got the same result. I also tried the Passepartout IOS client, but got the same result as follows: 11:35:46 -...

    OpenVPN Can't Connect from LAN

    I see, thanks. My router is an AX88U, and I am using firmware 384.14. I see the change log shows - UPDATED: OpenVPN 2.4.8. Thus the version concern is with the IOS client? The same client works with the OEM firmware anyway. I'll check the app history and see if there is an way I can...

    OpenVPN Can't Connect from LAN

    I need to leave VPN enabled from WAN to LAN. WAN works fine, LAN does not. It works with the OEM firmware, but it looks like WRT-Merlin has some issue with LAN. On LAN fail, the client log shows: 2019-12-28 10:42:03 ----- OpenVPN Start ----- OpenVPN core 3.git::2ae73415 ios arm64 64-bit...

    RT-AX88U WAN Performance 200M to ~5M After Only 5-9 Hours

    The issue started when I installed the AX88U, leading me to believe that was the source. However as it turns out, the former AC5300 router was apparently more tolerant of a marginal connection at the FIOS ONT. I noticed in the logs that the AX88U WAN connection was dropping back to 100M...

    RT-AX88U WAN Performance 200M to ~5M After Only 5-9 Hours

    I did not. Required? There is a lot of configuration required in doing so.

    RT-AX88U WAN Performance 200M to ~5M After Only 5-9 Hours

    OEM firmware would not complete initialization for OpenVPN server. It also dropped 200M to ~5M after X hours. I installed Merlin 384.13. OpenVPN is working now in Merlin and OEM firmware, however both drop WAN performance to ~5M after X hours of use. If it is relevant, I have up to 46 IP...

    OpenVPN TLS handshake failed

    OMG, yes, I now realize I was on LAN. Stupid... Sorry... But now it works on LAN or cloud. Changed Auth Digest to SHA256 for better security.

    OpenVPN TLS handshake failed

    I found this post: http://www.snbforums.com/threads/how-to-implement-secure-vpn-authentication.15796/ I changed UDP to TCP and it connects! Strange... I do appreciate your assistance. Now working as:

    OpenVPN TLS handshake failed

    Nothing, as I had nothing in the OEM custom config. Router is connected to FIOS, just as OEM was. I tried HMAC bidirectional as well: connect fail also

    OpenVPN TLS handshake failed

    Thanks for the input! I was excited for an end to this, but now I get: Nov 20 09:58:13 openvpn[29378]: 192.168.0.225:52171 TLS: Initial packet from [AF_INET]192.168.0.225:52171, sid=d82a9e7b 02453bce Nov 20 09:58:15 openvpn[29378]: 192.168.0.225:52171 Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: bad...

    OpenVPN TLS handshake failed

    I really like the custom firmware, however I can't make VPN function, although it worked fine with the OEM firmware. The log: Nov 19 17:57:00 openvpn[23552]: 192.168.0.225:58746 TLS: Initial packet from [AF_INET]192.168.0.225:58746, sid=5f54a7a3 58683605 Nov 19 17:57:09 openvpn[23552]...
