openvpn

After reading a few threads here about dedicated mini pc, Qotom, Yanling and Minisys are the leading choices as a VPN appliances. I have an existing wireless setup, so a wired-only hardware is perfect for my use. I will be running it as an OpenVPN gateway and firewall for my existing network...

I'm trying to set up the openvpn client, I've setup openvpn on my ubuntu server with openvpn-install.sh https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install I've tested the ovpn file and it works in tunnelblick so the vpn configuration server side seems to be ok. But when it connects, all routes...

Hi, I'm not sure whats going on here, but I cannot connect to any VPN server. There appears to be an "error connecting", this happens even after reinstalling the .ovpn file. This isn't an issue of username or password being wrong. They are the correct details. I receive the same result with 3...

Hi group, I am wondering if question similiar to multi-hop openvpn client is possible for Asus-Merlin. Currently I have ExpressVPN on openvpn client1 and client2. However, client2 can sometimes be blocked and won't be accessed directly. An alternative solution would be to route the traffic...

Hello, I just found out that the RT-AC68U asuswrt does not support running more than one Open VPN client (cannot start 2)... question: will Merlin allow it ? I also read that Merlin improves speed for VPN, does this apply to OpenVPN clients ? Thanks you

I have an Amazon Fire tablet that by default appends 8.8.8.8 to any DNS settings. The 8.8.8.8 address is the first DNS server contacted by default, bypassing the router DNS setting provided by DHCP unless 8.8.8.8 is blocked. The only way I have found to block this is to 1. Add a network...

Hi Is there any relationships between OpenVPN speed and NAT Acceleration ? on my RT-AC88U, It seems that I get higher speeds on my OpenVPN Netflix server if I disable NAT acceleration. However, given that I have a Gigabit/s connection, I would like to keep it enabled since my plain connection...

Hello all, I wonder if anyone's noticing a problem with the openvpn connections using merlinWRT as the openvpn server, and I'd like to know how to fix this. I'm using AC88u with latest 384.19 and the issue is that VPN becomes extremely slow (down to like 50k/s instead of 8MB/s) after using it...

Hi Which certificates need to be overwritten on the new router so that Openvpn clients can successfully connect with the certificate of the old router? I have circled the suggested files in red, but I might be wrong, maybe not all of these files need to be overwritten.

I searched all over this forum & google but couldn't get one clear, straight answer, so here goes: If I activate multiple (2 or more) OpenVPN clients in my Merlin router admin interface, do these: 1. Run in parallel - some clients (local IPs) connect trough one VPN, others trough another VPN...

Hi together I had a working setup with my RT-AC86U to connect through OpenVPN to my network to reach clients connected to the router. Now I had to reset the router. The problem is that I can connect through OpenVPN to the router but it's not possible to connect to any client. I don't know what...

I trying to use one preferred dns from my vpn provider, they come randomly in PUSH string. Sometime it's the right one but often not. I can extract DNS from vpn-log in right order with "grep" command. vpn=1 grep -E "dhcp-option DNS" /tmp/vpnclient-$vpn.log | cut -d ' ' -f3 | tail -n 2 | sort...

Hi All. Today I have changed my provider and the new one looks more smart than previous :) Now I can see 10.64.94.xx as my WAN IP address and it is very likely that I am behind multiple NAT. That's why DDNS gets incorrect IP even with external method to retrieve WAN IP - and as a result I...

I've setup an OpenVPN server on my Asus RT-AC66U B1 router running the Merlin firmware. I noticed when I first set this up that you were given a choice of using 1024 or 2048 bit RSA encryption. I used the default of 1024 bit, however, I've read that maybe I should have used 2048 bit since 1024...

Hi I had a working setup. My phone connected to my ASUS router with OpenVPN and I could access my Disk Station with the app File Station without any problem. I choose this to avoid any open ports in my router. Now I had to reset my mobile phone and the access does not work anymore. I can...

Hi all-- Sorry--I know it's been asked before and well documented, but I cannot seem to get access to my LAN over OpenVPN on Merlin 384.16 using TUN. I've spent about 2 hours reading various forums and trying custom configs, static routes, etc, windows firewall rules, but no dice. What I...

hi guys, need your help! first, i have read the ultimate guide, which is pinned on the VPN forum.. and i also found/read 3 other threads which i worked through .. but i am being to stupid to get this running :( my setup router 1 - ASUS RT-AC87U running latest original firmware lan setting...

Hello everybody, Can anybody help me with a problem? I have 2 Asus routers: RT-AX88U as a OpenVPN server (TAP) and a RT-AC88U as a OpenVPN client. Both routers have firmware 384.17. With the original Asuswrt firmware I have the same behavior. I need a TAP connection to connect all the TVs from...

I'm keen to be able to securely and safely access the resources on my home network from my smartphone, tablet or laptop whilst I'm way from home. I need a VPN. My first step to achieving that was to check out NeoRouter - it's very good and a cinch to configure with the NR server running on a...
