Where is the custom configuration field on the new ASUS routers?

[Spartan]

I am having an issue when I added an OpenVPN VPN profile for my VPN which is hide.me, I told them that the VPN connects but I get no internet connectivity so they replied back telling me to add this to the custom configuration field:

redirect-gateway def1

I cannot find where to enter this though, I tried Googling it but all I saw is the old UI:

You've cut off the bottom of the image. Can you not add the directive to the shown list within that field?

@Spartan Merlin's VPN implementation is different than stock firmware (which I assume you're using) so Merlin users can't really help you.

That's just an image I got from the web.

I have never seen that custom field on my router.

This is the email I got from hide.me support:

Matas (hide.me Support) Feb 12, 2024, 23:55 UTC Hello, The log shows you have successfully connected. however, if it is not routing properly, please try adding the following to custom configuration field redirect-gateway def1 After that, please restart the VPN connection and try visiting https://hide.me/check from the computer behind the router. Sincerely,

On stock firmware, VPN Fusion, OpenVPN, switch to Advanced. Not there at the bottom? I don’t have my router running at the moment.

Please check this video, there is no Advanced: https://streamable.com/2xhz67

Edit the VPN config file and import? It’s a text file.

I don't know, I haven't looked at the stock firmware OpenVPN UI in years. I have my own OpenVPN implementation, also with its own webui.

yes, where did you find that?

 

[KevTech]

OpenVPN tab there is a drop down you can click on to change from general to advanced setting.

 

[Tech9]

OpenVPN tab

Are you looking at OpenVPN Server or Client tab?

 

[Tech9]

No, this is the OpenVPN Server configuration. Clients are configured in VPN Fusion section.

Wouldn't the changes needed just be added to the .ovpn file and then reimported?

 

[Spartan]

No, this is the OpenVPN Server configuration. Clients are configured in VPN Fusion section.

Support just got back to me and told me that I can simply add that line to the .ovpn towards the bottom before this starts:

Thanks to everyone for trying to help, guess there is no custom configuration to enter in the stock ASUS firmware.
