    Thanks everyone for feedback so far. Attached is version 1.0.1. I fixed some typos, added a suggestion to clean up your tftp folder when you're done, and made a note about the OpenVPN version that's most compatible with the document.

     

    Some users looking to work through this doc may find that they can avoid Step 1 by visiting this hidden page:

     

    http://192.168.1.1/debug.htm

     

    If the debug page loads and there is an "Enable Telnet" option then you got lucky. Note that either the debug page or the option to "Enable Telnet" may not exist on your device or firmware version. Remember to check that this option is disabled after you're finished because having telnet enabled is a security risk.

I can confirm that step 1 can be avoided (R8500) by going to http://192.168.1.1/debug.htm and select "Enable Telnet "

Can anyone else confirm that telnet can be enabled this way ?

This also work for my R6220 router.  Selecting "Enable Telnet" will enbale the linux telnet server inside the R6220.
