Namecheap and DDNS issue with sub.mydomain.net

[JohnnyBeGood]

RMerlin,

Is this something that could be fixed maybe in the future releases?
It definitely messes with OpenVPN.

Thank you for all of work!

What's the problem? Mine works fine with my own domain.

What's the problem? Mine works fine with my own domain.

On example of the problem is that when I download OpenVPN config file it download hostname as "linux" and not as "linux.mydomain.net" so when I try to connect remotly its trying to connect to linux.

After DynDNS went with paid route I've setup couple of sub domains for my family members. So I can't update all of my subdomains.

Just curious how do you have your namechep setup on the WAN >> DDNS page?

The same as yours. Will need to doublecheck OpenVPN functionality since I haven't played with it lately.

The same as yours. Will need to doublecheck SSL functionality since I haven't played with it lately.

Ok, so on the front page it shows just sub domain, like in my case linux?

I just experienced the same thing. Is there any solution to this issue?

You can just modify the remote line in the .ovpn file that you download to match the full domain name entry. This is what I needed to do in order to have the open VPN clients connect back to my router. I'm also using Namecheap.

That's easy enough as a workaround. Got it working now.

Thanks!

I realize this is an old thread, but through I would chime in that I struggled for a bit with the same issue. Figured it out after a bit, but it would be nice if it coud be done in a way where the firmware recognizes it's DDNS name properly when using namecheap and one didn't have to know they had to edit the ovpn file.

If you use the Custom DDNS option you'll get the desired result, see here for the custom DDNS script for Namecheap. As for copying and pasting, this is more a browser issue.
