Possible bug with OpenVPN UDP settings?

[morden]

Hello all,

I've been using the OpenVPN server in my RT-N66U for awhile now but have been using the TCP protocol. I just read online that UDP works better for streaming movies, gaming, etc. I thought I would load a UDP .opvn config file and see if that would improve my streaming. For some reason after it loads then I click apply and logout, I noticed that my IP address is still local rather than using the IP address supplied by the VPN server so I would log back into my router settings and notice that the OpenVPN server is no longer running, the service state switch has been switched back to off by itself? It was set to ON when I applied the settings and logged out and all of a sudden it's OFF? Is there a minor bug with the UDP settings is not permanently saved? I tried loading a TCP file and its working just fine again.

Anyone else having this issue by any chance?

You can't just randomly switch between UDP and TCP. Both the server and the client must use the same protocol.
