Hi,

I was trying to setup openvpn on my AC-RT88U running 384.19 and I get an error

Upon looking in system message log I see

Nov 18 15:19:06 RT-AC88U-EB98 custom_script: Running /jffs/scripts/service-event (args: restart vpnserver1)
Nov 18 15:19:08 RT-AC88U-EB98 kernel: EMF_ERROR: Interface tap21 doesn't exist
Nov 18 15:19:08 RT-AC88U-EB98 ovpn-server1[16615]: Options error: --keepalive conflicts with --ping, --ping-exit, or --ping-restart. If you use --keepalive, you don't need any of the other --ping directives.
Nov 18 15:19:08 RT-AC88U-EB98 ovpn-server1[16615]: Use --help for more information.
Nov 18 15:19:08 RT-AC88U-EB98 openvpn: Starting OpenVPN server 1 failed!

Nov 18 15:19:08 RT-AC88U-EB98 custom_script: Running /jffs/scripts/service-event-end (args: restart vpnserver1)

Running ifconfig I see no tap21 or tun21 interfaces

Where else should I be looking ?
 
Sounds like you didn't specify the necessary keys/certs (see "Keys and Certificates" option and select Edit).

These are generated automatically, I did click on Advanced then edit on keys and the edit, then saved

Still errorored

I seen the update to 386.1 for firmware and could possibly give this a shot
