    OpenVPN Clients - Error Connecting

    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.

    Transfer of certificates Openvpn to another ASUS router

    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.

    Change OpenVPN Server to RSA 2048 Bit Encryption?

    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...
