XR500 Hybrid VPN Setup

Hi,

I retrieved the OpenConfig file from my VPN, but when I go to advanced to upload the file, all that is there is a text box. Is there something I'm supposed to type in that box to link to the VPN? Or am i missing the upload icon somewhere?

  • Please disregard this request as I found a simpler means to utilize my vpn throughout my devices.

    Thanks

        i am having issues setting up my XR500 using the advanced settings also.   the guide that is linked is extremely vague, with a "copy your config file" statement.   what exactly is this field looking for.   can i have a full example of what this may look like as it seems that it is looking for a complete text file.   the config file i was supplied with from my VPN (IPvanish) is a zip file containing the certificate itself in a securtiy certificate file and each servers OVPN file.  what information do i need to input other than my username and password to get this working.   thank you.
