I have a Raspberry PI OpenVPN server built back in the US. I'm in China with a LinkSys E1550 wireless router running this build of DD-WRT
dd-wrt.v24-24118_NEWD-2_K2.6_big-nv60k
It is the newest build where wifi works.
The Raspberry PI OpenVPN Server is working properly as I have OpenVPN client for Windows and on Android connecting to it and working nicely.
However, through many trials and attempts I have yet to be able to get the DD-WRT OpenVPN client to connect to the Raspberry PI.
My set up is a little complex. The DD-WRT LinkSys E1550 configured with DHCP off and in Gateway mode. It is connected to port 4 of a LinkSys EA4500 and on the same sub-net of 10.254.22.xxx, both wireless routers have different IDs.
The reason I wish to do this is so that I can connect my Chromecast to the DD-wrt while other devices can connect to the EA4500 and all still be on the same network.
As I said, the Raspberry PI OpenVPN Server is the US is working properly as I can use it with OpenVPN Client on Android and Windows.
However, the DD-WRT OpenVPN client will not connect. The TLS negotiation times out.
Here is my client.opvn. Attached are the DD-WRT OpenVPN Client Log entries and configuration pages.
I just need some guidance on where to look for clues to the problem source. Thank you!

Code:

mute 20
I've tried re-flashing the e1550 dd-wrt version and the original Linksys rom using the instructions in the Peacock post. All I get is a power that flashes three times and then goes off.
Crap!!!

I finally got the courage to brick my router (again) and installed the latest DD-WRT version:
dd-wrt.v24-25648_NEWD-2_K2.6_big-nv64k
Still does Not work. Same results as before.
BTW: I use OpenVPN to by Raspbian VPN Server in the U.S all the time through my Android phone and Windows PC. No problems in all - you don't need a 'scramble patch'
