OpenVPN config file problem in .35_2

[Deleted member 22630]

Hi RMerlin,

In the OpenVPN server settings, I enabled "Extra HMAC authorization (tls-auth)" for Incoming (0). The generated config file then contains the line:

</tls-auth> 1

which cannot be parsed when importing into Android clients.

This should be:

</tls-auth>
key-direction 1

which is parsed and works properly.

Regards,
Scott.

Another problem with OpenVPN server config is that when using username/password authentication, a password with several "." (period) characters is neither displayed, nor works.

Don't use three dots in a row - this is used to determine if a field is truncated or not.

The same issue would happen in a lot of other places on the webui BTW. This is something that will also happen with the original FW.

I'll have to take a look. The config generation code was developed by Asus, so there might be some issues still left with it as it's fairly new.

Thanks - should be fixed now.

I would think so too, seems that the details pages also does not show somehow for my old config, doing a factory reset then comes out fine.
