Nighthawk R7000 openvpn Cannot load certificate file client.crt
Hello I have Nighthawk R7000 running firmware V1.0.11.136_10.2.120 and I was wanting to run a vpn. I followed the instructions about how to turn on the vpn service and installing openvpn. W...
I was able to use openvpn's cloud connexa without issues to setup a vpn through the hitron.
I still believe the problem is the original error from the basic openvpn client which was it couldn't open the certificate file.

Several months into this issue, I can now report success with a solution. At least on my part.
I have several Windows 10 computers in various locations, a variety of laptops and desktops with both Windows 10 Home and Pro installed. About half would connect back to the router using the Open VPN client software and about half would not. A combination of Open VPN client software and configuration files from versions 2.6.5 forward were in stalled.
I could not find a common thread as to why some of the machines would work and some not. Went through many configuration file sets and Open VPN client software versions 2.6.5 forward. On a couple of machines I even did a full clean install of Windows 10.
This past week I took another run at the issue. Before taking the Windows 10 configurations too far apart, I installed the new client software version 2.6.10 and created a new set of configuration files.
The end result was it connected fine and worked like a charm with remote access to various devices on my home LAN.
