I'm trying to configure my router's OpenVPN client to run TigerVPN service I recently purchased. I've reached their technical support, but they don't know how to properly configure it (more specifically; a proper guide). They simply recommended me to change to Tomato or DD-WRT.

I'm using an ASUS RT-AC68U with TigerVPN and here are my settings.
Interface Type=TUN
Protocol=UDP
Server Address and Port = which ever vpn server you want to connect to. Tiger has a list and use port 1194
Firewall=Automatic
Authorization Mode=TLS
Username/Password Authentication=Yes
Username= The tiger username that is supply to you. You can get this on your account page.
Password= The tiger password that is supply to you. You can get this on your account page.
Username / Password Auth. Only = Yes
Extra HMAC authorization= Disable
Create NAT on tunnel=Yes
Poll Interval=0 (it's zero) for disable
Accept DNS Configuration=Disable, I have my DNS manually set on my router to point at Google DNS and Open DNS.
Encryption cipher=AES-256-CBC
Compression=Adaptive
TLS Renegotiation Time=-1
Connection Retry=-1
Verify Server Certificate=No
Redirect Internet traffic= Policy rules but this is your choice/option what you want. I have this VPN connection to only one device, so that is why I chose this setting.
Block routed client if tunnel goes down=Yes but again, this is an option if you wish to enable or disable. My is enable.
Custom Configuration settings that I have enter is
pull
tls-client
script-security 2
mute 10
route-delay 5
remote-cert-tls server
mssfix

P.S. Remember that you need to also add TigerVPN's CA (certificate authority). Also, the best speed came from Toronto.
I forgot where I got the openvpn config file from but I tried quite a few and mess with the configuration. Then it finally work. Hopefully this will help you

Hi

I know this is an old thread but I have a Asus AC68U router and wanted to know if this is still working okay?

I haven't signed up to tiger VPN as yet so unable to try.

Many thanks

You should not use Google dns and open DNS because you will be leaking DNS to google and open dns
use the default dns of your vpn provider and leave the google and open dns for local isp traffic providing you use policy rules.
 
Hi... I'd like to try and revive this too... this is an old thread... I have an Asus RT-AC88U with Merlin's 380.67 and after trying to set up TigerVPN as described above I get the following error:

Jul 31 10:38:51 rc_service: httpds 552:notify_rc start_vpnclient2
Jul 31 10:38:53 openvpn[26752]: Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in config.ovpn:24: ---BEGIN (2.4.3)
Jul 31 10:38:53 openvpn[26752]: Use --help for more information.

I have used the exact parameters as described above.... I have no clue on what to do now... help is appreciated!

Thanks
 
You seem to have pasted a certificate in the middle of your config file, which isn't correct. We'd need to see your config file to understand what you did.

Thank you very much!!! exactly, I was using some other instructions on how to do this and I had placed the certificate in the wrong section... I placed it where you told me and it works now, using the instructions above in the second post...

Hats off!! Thanks again,

Carlos
