OpenVPN and Netgear WNDR3700

[mvukic]

Hello,

I recently replaced the firmware on my old Netgear WNDR3700 with Gargoyle WNDR3700-V1.0.16.98NA. The update process went well and I was able to configure the router with an exception of OpenVPN server access.
The router is connected to local cable provider modem and I am using DynDNS service for remote management and it works well.

After configuring OpenVPN server with the default settings, I created a client profile (screenshot attached). Subnet behind client is "No Subnet Defined".

To connect to the VPN server, I installed Windows Desktop OpenVPN client from here
http://openvpn.net/index.php/access-ser ... w/357.html .

After importing local .ovpn profile (previously downloaded from the router/OpenVPN server) I was not able to establish VPN connection so far. The client stays in "Connecting" status and never connects to the server.

Here is the log file content (router IP address has been removed):

Please advise.

I also have the same router (v2) and just last night I reflashed from OpenWRT to Gargoyle. I set up OpenVPN, generating a file, I cannot connect using the credential file given to me from the router (Windows 7 64-bit client)... The OpenVPN client just sits on "Connecting" with no other useful information.

Edit: Found the log file. It appears as though my issue is the same:

Code: Select all
