NightHawk XR500 and MullvadVPN
Hello! I got myself a new XR500 today and cant seem to figure out how to setup the VPN on it using MullvadVPN provider. I went on mullvad site and generated a config file but I dont have any idea...
- Can you try this instead please:
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote-random
remote 31.170.22.2 1196
cipher AES-256-CBC
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
verb 3
remote-cert-tls server
ping 10
ping-restart 60
sndbuf 524288
rcvbuf 524288
fast-io
auth-user-pass
reneg-sec 0

Try m as the password if it doesn't work otherwise.
I would check to see if that mfr of that VPN is supported on the XR router.
Review the user manual for setting up VPN.
- This guide should hopefully help you get setup but essentially you'll need to use the Advanced section of VPN Setup and paste that configuration file in and input your login details to connect. http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000087492--dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-hybrid-vpn
there are 3 files in the downloaded zip I got from mullvad but they cant be opened to copy anything . sorry but it is a bit confusing .
