CAX30 onboard VPN
Has anybody used the onboard VPN on a CAX30 router? I have been trying for days to get it to function. I have successfully gotten the DDNS entry to work and can successfully ping the hostname. ...
- Finally got this to work ising the following
client.ovpn file:
client
remote (your hostname here) 12973
dev tun
proto udp
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
<CA>
(laste ca.crt contents here)
</CA>
<CERT>
(paste client.crt contents here)
</CERT>
<KEY>
(paste client.key contents here)
</KEY>
key-direction 1
<TLS-AUTH>
(paste ta.key contents here)
</TLS-AUTH>
remote-cert-tls server
cipher AES-256-CBC

route-method exe
Currently running V2.1.3.10 firmware (with traffic meter disabled, not on Comcast)
I'm reposting this in the Cablemodems message board. Sorry for posting it here.
Just a reminder, you cannot test a client device that is connected to the same network where the server (router) is connected. On a mobile device, you have to turn off Wi-Fi and connect to the internet through cell data.
I am a Windows/Android type and use the operating system specific OpenVPN applications. You do not have to manipulate either configuration set to install/import for these operating systems. Downloaded from the router in a zip file, the Windows configuration set is four files and the Android is one file.
Kitsap,
Thanks for the reply. Yes I have been switching to my cell-only net connection for testing.
Regarding the configuration files.. The OpenVPN Connect app for apple devices require
a single .ovpn file using json style certificate and key information. The files downloaded
from the CAX30 contain this information in separate files (ca.crt, client.crt, client.key, ta.key).
I will try today to get a windows and linux machine to connect using the separate file set
directly from the CAX30.
I see in your bio that you are using a CM2050V->R9000. Have you successfully configured
a VPN to work on a CAX30?
And THANKS for the help,
sryan
