Problems Creating 2nd OpenVPN Client

[makk]

Has anybody had this problem before:

I'm trying to create a second OpenVPN client in the client2 config page but having difficulty. I upload the new ovpn file but when I do so the Server IP field briefly changes to the new IP before reverting to the one for client1.

If I then apply this it remains the same as client1 and will not start. Also at this point client1 will not restart if stopped.

I tried SSH into the box and after a bit of digging found that there is no client2 directory being created in
/tmp/etc/openvpn and if I cat the files in the client1 directory I can see that the ca.crt cert file is now the one from the file I attempted to use for client2 but the server IP in the config.ovpn file is still client1! Timestamps on the files change to when I hit apply etc.

Router is an Asus RT-AC3200 running 380.65_4

Any help would be most appreciated.

Make sure your web browser's auto fill isn't playing tricks on you.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I tried disabling autocomplete and indeed went to a fresh browser with no joy. I worked round it in the end by manually replacing the IP address with the correct one before I enabled the VPN but it's not persistent.

I'm going to be travelling for the next couple of weeks so I'll have to try and take a look when I get back.

That model is nvram-starved. Make sure you aren't running out of nvram, especially if dealing with two OpenVPN clients.
