OpenVPN client with hidemyass

[newsboost]

Hi all,

Sorry, I just cannot figure completely out, what is the best / most correct way to setup hidemyass to work with my router :

Device Name:Gargoyle
Gargoyle Version:1.6.2
Model:TP-Link TL-WR1043N/ND v2
Device Configuration:Gateway
Memory Usage:16.2MB / 60.2MB (26.9%)

I looked at http://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/doku.php?id=openvpn but it's not completely clear to me exactly what to do.

Here's my current setting:

Notice here that I logged into the router with SSH as root and created the file: pass.txt as you can see under the auth-user-pass setting...

I don't know about TLS-Auth Key - I have no idea what it means. Also TLS-Auth Direction - I know nothing about it.

I prefer if I can enable/disable openvpn through the webinterface. Now I also found a startup-script on hidemyass homepage, but it seems like it's a script that gets start at boot time. I would prefer not to boot my router, when I want to connect through VPN.

I would also prefer not to be required to login with SSH to the router, to run a script, if I want to be connected to VPN.

I hope somebody can help me here with the best strategy/solution (and this is my first post so I hope nobody comes shouting at me, if I posted in the wrong place - I tried to find an appropriate group and tried to read about this, but couldn't come any closer to a soluation). Thanks.

There some posts on this topic

From my understanding you can't add a openvpn username and password using the GUI.

That is the usual problem with gargoyle and these kind of services

Thanks a lot ispyisail.... I see... But if I login with SSH it should be possible to save the username and password in a text file and then somehow make openvpn read that text file and pass that information whenever needed?

Is my assumption correct? Is it possible to make it work with hidemyass? Anyone tried and could share their experience(s)? I would be grateful...

There is a thread on this forum about exactly what you suggest

Ok, thanks... I now works with the text file user/pass - it was simple enough. However, I still cannot make it work with hidemyass...

Have tried a lot lately... Looks like it connects and everything seems fine, but I cannot go to any webpages - except if I enter the IP-address directly but then things are really really slow - maybe DNS-issue...

hmm....

There is a known DNS issue

Try manually entering a DNS address on your client PC
