OpenVPN manual setup

[thadapacadava]

Hi,

I am with privateinternetaccess.com but they only provide guides for dd-wrt, tomato and pfsense for openVPN. I like gargoyle firmware too much to change for them so I was hoping to get a little assistance with setting up my account on a netgear WNDR3800 running gargoyle 1.5.9

I was told by their tech support that only the client certificate is required apart from the server, port, protocol and encryption settings. This I can work out. However, how would I enter my privateinternetaccess.com username and password? I cannot see anywhere in gargoyle to enter it through a startup script.

I know a little about VPNs but am fairly new to gargoyle firmware.

Thanks!

Ubuntu Linux 10.10: OpenVPN Setup

In Terminal, install openvpn packages with sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn.
Restart the network manager with sudo restart network-manager
Run sudo wget https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/o ... penvpn.zip
Extract the files from the zip with unzip openvpn.zip.
Move ca.crt to /etc/openvpn
Open the Network Manager on the menu bar.
Choose add and select the OpenVPN connection type, and click Create.
Enter Private Internet Access SSL for the Connection Name.
Enter us-west.privateinternetaccess.com [*] for the Gateway
Select Password and enter your login credentials.
Browse and select the CA Certificat we saved in Step 3.
Choose Advanced and enable LZO Compression.
Apply and exit.
Connect using the Network Manager.

From my understanding Gargoyle does not support "Select Password and enter your login "credentials." Through the GUI

Might be possible through CLI, but advanced

Thanks for your reply.

Does openWRT support it, or is my only option dd-wrt?
