Hello,

I am trying to set up one wifi network on Asus RT-AC68U running 386.5 with OpenVPN. The client file works fine on the mobile with OpenVPN client but appears to give some error in the firmware.

Below is the log, could someone advise what could be the reason? The VPN server is running on a NAT machine on a port 14220. IP address below changed to 000.000.000.000.
Thanks

I am trying to set up one wifi network on Asus RT-AC68U running 386.5 with OpenVPN.
What does this mean? Unless you're using a custom script you can't selectively route WiFi clients over a VPN.

Your VPN server seems to be pushing a lot of incompatible Windows-only options to the client. Is this server something you've created yourself or is it commercial like NordVPN?

You also appear to be trying to configure an IPv6 connection which I don't think is supported as the moment.
 
Thanks @ColinTaylor As you have already figured, I have no idea what I am trying to do.

I wanted to have wifi connection to pass through openVPN (Say default 2.GHz one). The OpenVPN client is a custom one so that could be an issue.

I'll try to find another suitable client to see if that work. Thanks for your response, appreciated.
 
Okay got surfshark installed and openvpn is now connected. Is it possible to run all specific WiFI traffic to go through this VPN and LAN traffic on normal IP?
 
It might be possible with VPN Director rules if your WiFi clients are using a Guest WiFi network #1. Otherwise you'll probably have to use an add-on script like YazFi.
