    How to implement secure VPN authentication?

    Thanks for the clarification. Clearly my information was outdated.

    How to implement secure VPN authentication?

    That's why. OpenVPN is not implemented in the OEM firmware. You read Tomato so much because Merlin's OpenVPN implementation is based on that used by Tomato. You simply can't do OpenVPN without switching to Merlin's firmware, unless you try and re-port everything (re-make the wheel) or use any...

    How to implement secure VPN authentication?

    This article explains it: http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/tcp-tcp.html I have the impression you are using a pure Asuswrt firmware version on your router. Am I right? And the only terminal skills you need are to create the CA, certs and keys. Once you have them, you can do...

    How to implement secure VPN authentication?

    After I don't know how many hours of trying to figure out why the OpenVPN Connect client doesn't work on UDP but does work on TCP, I am just going to leave it there. I only have one device that will have to bear with the disadvantages of using the TCP protocol. sinshiva, thank you so much for...

    How to implement secure VPN authentication?

    Well, I definitively didn't know that by using Extra HMAC authorization, the router would automatically create the key. That's very cool. Regretfully, the suggested changes didn't work out. In fact, I also lost connectivity through my laptops. If I try to connect using my laptop, i get this...

    How to implement secure VPN authentication?

    To be honest, I haven't. Even though most of the sample configs I've seen include tls-auth, I saw this as an extra step to take after getting the most basic configuration working. Nevertheless, it seems I should be aiming at installing openvpn through macports and creating the tls-auth keys now...

    How to implement secure VPN authentication?

    The first time I tried, I didn't use mssfix. I just tried again using the commands you suggested but regretfully it didn't work either. Placing those three directives on both sides, I got a warning on the client side stating that I cannot use the 'fragment' directive. ---- OpenVPN Start...

    How to implement secure VPN authentication?

    Technically speaking, it is not a mistake to try to establish a UDP connection instead of a TCP one. I currently have the same problem but have been unable to find a solution so far (on my mobile devices, my home laptops work perfectly). sinshiva kindly pointed me in the "MTU size" direction but...

    Android OpenVPN to ASUSWRT-Merlin OpenVPN SERVER

    Thanks a lot!!! It seems it is a problem with the official openVPN client only. I had to reconfigure everything manually on the client you suggested but it worked on the first try. So this is the log I got, in case you are interested. In short, MTU is set to 1500. After lunch I'll try forcing...

    Android OpenVPN to ASUSWRT-Merlin OpenVPN SERVER

    Hi sinshiva, thanks for your time and suggestion. It does make a lot of sense. I have been trying to increase the verbosity on the client side but the command goes to the "unused options" list, and I didn't find anything related to it in the preferences inside OpenVPN Connect. Do you know...

    Android OpenVPN to ASUSWRT-Merlin OpenVPN SERVER

    Something weird just happened. I recently found this thread: https://code.google.com/p/android-openvpn-settings/issues/detail?id=156 As you see in the bottom of that post, this guy says he can connect using TCP but not UDP. Just for the fun of it, I also tried connecting using TCP and... it...

    Android OpenVPN to ASUSWRT-Merlin OpenVPN SERVER

    Hi Guys... I would really appreciate your insight with the following. I am having a lot of problems trying to make a similar configuration work and I really don't know what I'm getting wrong. For some reason the authentication is not working. In essence, the only difference I have with the...
