Hence it has to be done at the firmware level. Removing OVPN clients 3 through 5 alone will save 2.7 KB, which is a lot.I can't think of a way to save up more NVRAM usage.

I´ll wait then for the next update.Hence it has to be done at the firmware level. Removing OVPN clients 3 through 5 alone will save 2.7 KB, which is a lot.

If you haven't already updated to 386.11, you should. It incorporates the reduction of OpenVPN clients from 5 to 2 in order to free up some additional NVRAM space for the RT-AC68U and DSL-AC68U. See the main thread on 386.11:I am wholeheartedly thankful to @RMerlin for the attention to this issue, reduction to 2 clients totally worth it in order to keep the hardware going for a while longer with enhanced functionality.

indicated in the change log file if you have a RT-AC68U and DSL-AC68U.5 up at one time? No.OK, so still nobody has actually explained why would someone need 5 OpenVPN clients. I would really like to see a real-life scenario explanation as for what and which and why... I guess some people just have enough time to argue about 2 vs 5, but don't have time for explaining this simple thing. I mean, @Yota ... seriously... grandma using 5 OpenVPN clients on her AC68U router in 2023? Grandma must be some very well-versed hacker or something.
Thanks @bennor. I had already upgraded to 386.11 but hadn't read the changelog so didn't know about running the script. I just did that though and funnily my NVRAM usage was increased by a tiny bit when I refreshed the sysinfo page. Maybe that is because I had already gone in and cleared all the clients (reset them to default anyway) before doing the hard reset? In any case there's plenty of spare memory now.If you haven't already updated to 386.11, you should.
