I have noticed something awfully off in my settings. I couldn't get my openvpn client running. No matter what I tried it always ended up in:
Code:
Jun 14 21:37:11 openvpn[3045]: Options error: If you use one of --cert or --key, you must use them both
Jun 14 21:37:11 openvpn[3045]: Use --help for more information.
Jun 14 21:37:11 syslog: VPN_LOG_ERROR: 432: Starting OpenVPN failed...
By wildly clicking around, changing it from Client1 to Client2, uploading the openvpn file again... it... just worked.
All the settings were exactly the same, yet client2 would work just fine while 1 wouldn't.

Later I found out under:"Content modification of Keys & Certificates." Client2 has saved the Client Key while Client1 did not. I tried copying&pasting but it would just disappear in Client1 again leaving it empty. It would empty the Client Key textarea as soon as I clicked "save" not even a refresh/apply or so is required

So I thought, well I dont need 2 clients anyway I'll just go ahead and use Client2.
While trying to setup policy rules ... it would simply not save policy rules under Client2.
I tried adding policy rules under Client1 and it worked.
Rebooting the router did not help...

Do I have to set it to default settings or something like that? I do have a lot of mac filter, port trigger and dhcp entries, typing all those would be a real pain :\

tl;dr

OpenVPN Client1:
+ Can save policy rules
- Can't save client key

OpenVPN Client2:
+ Can save client key
- Can't save policy rules

hlp, please

Edit: okay it must be the update I made from 378.52 to 378.54. It has changed the security of my wifi to OPEN giving everyone access. The settings in the webui is still set to wpa2 but my wifi devices cĺearly show I dont need a password anymore... I'm going to reset the settings and hope its going to be fixed
