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.
