Hi all,
I have had OpenVPN working fine on my Netgear D6400 for a while now with PrivateInternetAccess.
However, I have a new VPN provider (much cheaper) and they have sent me the ca.crt file and the relevant OVPN files.
This is the contents of the OVPN file they have sent. I have tried to configure the GUI in DD-WRT using this, but am obviously doing it wrongly as I can't get it to connect (in fact the openvpn status page doesn't even say it's tried to connect).
Code:
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote 46.101.59.8 1194 # - Your server IP and OpenVPN Port
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
tun-mtu 1500
tun-mtu-extra 32
mssfix 1450
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
auth-user-pass
comp-lzo
reneg-sec 0
verb 3

First of all you should post in the advanced networking forum.
Furthermore there have been problems with the openVPN client on some builds.
What router are you using and what build?
I advise the latest build, I have tested Kong's builds and the latest is working (on PIA).
I think all those settings they want can be set through the GUI (although they clearly gave you settings for an older OpenVPN version as in the recent 2.4x version it should be proto udp4)
You can view your settings in the /tmp/openvpncl/openvpn.conf file
