OpenVPN Client wont connect

[cosycactus]

Hi,

I have the following setup

1. Static IP Internet connection connected to WAN port of the router (AC68U with Merlin 3.0.0.4.374.39_0 firmware.

after configuring the Open VPN Client I get the following error in the system log

I am able to connect my laptop as openVPN client behind the router..

Not sure where is the problem

I was having the same messages in my logs when trying to connect via OpenVPN. Here's how I got it working for me: http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showpost.php?p=109528&postcount=11 I don't know why, as UDP worked great on my old WRT54G with Tomato. My ASUS with Merlin wanted TCP. ???

Thanks for the reply.

1. if i choose to do TCP, then I have to change change the port to 443 as well cause the service provider needs it at port 443.

I get the following error for TCP
