R7000 OpenVPN V1.0.7.10_1.2.3
1 TopicR7000 V1.0.7.10_1.2.3 and V1.0.7.12_1.2.5 OpenVPN cannot connect
My OpenVPN was working until I installed firmware V1.0.7.10_1.2.3 - unfortunately, I do not know what version I had before that. I tried resolving upgrading to firmware V1.0.7.12_1.2.5, but no success in connecting. I was running client installed from: openvpn-install-2.3.6-I602-x86_64 I tried upgrading to the following client, but no success in connecting: openvpn-install-2.3.9-I601-x86_64 I tried turning both cable modem (Motorola SB modem) and R7000 router off for 10 minutes, then powerd modem on, following by R7000 router but no success in connecting. Here is my client1.ovpn content (with a dynamic DNS name masked): client dev tap proto udp dev-node NETGEAR-VPN remote xxxxxxx.xxxx.xxx 12974 resolv-retry infinite nobind persist-key persist-tun ca
