I can confirm that this is a problem with 1.7.0 and 1.7.1

Okay. I seemed to have found a workaround. I have problems if I refresh with the new rom and then immediately reload my old config, but it seems to work if I refresh the rom, then start up the openvpn server to generate new keys, and then load in my old configuration.

The bug seems to be that loading in a backup file doesn't seem to set the bit that tells the system that keys have been generated for openvpn.

Hi,
For my first look and testing OpenVpn works now fine on TPLink-1043ND and firmware 1.7.1.
But after the first router restart the router isn't responsible again like in the firmware versions before. I had to go in failsafe mode again to launch "firstboot". :-(

Thanks for your help!

When I look at the log file I see a line that says:
Options errors: You must define TUN/TAP device (--dev)

Can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it?

Are you able to login to your Gargoyle router using ssh and post the output of

Code: Select all

uci show openvpn
Can you help someone else get Gargoyle up and running?
