New Around Here
Hi All,
Hope I am not repeating the same thing here, I have been looking around but cannot find a solution.
I have an Asus RT-AC87U router with Merlin's 380.65 firmware. I am trying to setup my VPN more so using OpenVPN but am having some issues. I have asked my VPN provider for assistance and they have responded with the below which I have tried but still cannot get it to work:
1 Download required OpenVPN files from here https://s3.amazonaws.com/ivacy-apps/openvpn-files/OpenVPN-Configs.zip
Access your Router Panel and Click on VPN from Left menu.
2 From VPN Section, Click on VPN Client then click on “Add profile”
3 From new windows, click on OpenVPN and insert the following info:
Description: Ivacy, IvacyUS, IvacyUK etc (Anything you like)
Username: Your email address
Password: Your password
Now Click on Choose file.
4 Navigate to downloaded OpenVPN files and select desired Country.
5 Click on Upload.
6Once upload completes. Select “Import the CA file or edit the .ovpn file manually and click on “Edit”
7 Now go back to downloaded OpenVPN files.
Open CA.crt in Notepad, copy all content and past it under Certificate Authority.
Open WDC.key in Notepad, copy all content and past it under Static Key (Optional) box and click on Save
8 Click on OK.
9 Click on “Activate” to connect OpenVPN.
OpenVPN Connection will establish in few second. Sometimes Asus shows (X) on connect status. Ignore it and go to System log to verify the connection status.
If you see “Initialization Sequence Completed” at the end that means OpenVPN is successfully connected.
When I Apply the settings on the Open VPN client page I get the "Applying" notification but it does not turn on. Also, my VPN provider have asked me to create an OpenVPN profile but I do not have this option in the routers interface, I only get PPTP and L2TP. Am I missing something?
All help is greatly thanked.
