(Error - check configuration).

[Jgafa10]

Hi I'm attempting to step up an OpenVPN Asuswrt-Merlin firmware but I'm having trouble Service State keep getting this error msg (Error - check configuration). Under Keys and Certificates i copied and pasted the Ipvanish certificate in certificate authority. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong? Any suggestions. See Attachments

Thank you

Check the System Log, find the error message, change what it complaints about, try again.

 

[Jgafa10]

I went to the system Log but don't understanding how to read it and fix it.

Your problem is in configuration settings no longer supported by the new OpenVPN versions. The error is in vpnclient log messages.

Can somone help me? I'm trying to create a OpenVPN Tunnel and then I can choose which devices I want to go thought the VPN or bypass the VPN but can't seem to configure the open client to the internet. I'm having trouble Service State keep getting this error msg (Error - check configuration). I had done this a while back but lost all the setting when I had to upgrade the Asuswrt-Merlin firmware. Is there a way I can attach the system log, and someone can tell me what I need to to fix this error.

I would really appreciate you help.
Thank you

I can attach the system log

then do that.

the message is telling you something is missing. check all of the fields and try again until it works. it's really not that difficult. follow the breadcrumbs and it will eventually work.

 

[Jgafa10]

Ok thanks. How can I attach the system log?

 

[Jgafa10]

I attach as text in notpad or folder. Which do you prefer?

 

[Jgafa10]

Here is the system log in notpad. Let me know if you can read it or not.

Colin went to the system log clicked control -f in the find I entered the ovpn-client 5773 it gave the screen shot I i'm sending.

What I'm I removing the 5773 or keysize 2.6.3. I'm I removing it from the system long? I'm confused.

I'm I removing it from the system long?

From VPN configuration. It has to be in Custom Configuration field.

See this related thread, it has screenshots attached for your reference:

VPN "Error - check configuration!" Firmware:386.10 (RT-AC86U)

I guess it'll be something I have done wrong, but could someone please help me diagnose why my VPN is no longer working since upgrading to 386.10? I use IPvanish, specifically their Charlotte 6 server in my merlin for a number of years now without issue. But since upgrading to 386.10 it has...

I'm confused.

Maybe you shouldn't use a VPN?
I feel like you don't need it at all.
PS: It's about the VPN configuration, possibly the ovpn file you load.
