OpenVPN and iOS App - TUN Setup Failed

[maihacke]

you have to edit both the ccd/<client> and server.conf

The same problem exist for Android OpenVPN client.

The solution for me is edit files in ccd directory and change IP of the gateway to text vpn_gateway. I had to do it each time after clicking Save Changes in OpenVPN Configuration. It is not a big problem but it is a little inconvenient.

I have an idea to make a little fix, but coding it at this moment seems a little complicated for me. Maybe somebody else will make the following change:
1) In the form for add/edit OpenVPN Client add checkbox "Android/iOS Client" (default: unchecked).
2) The script which creates files in ccd directory should check this option and: if it is checked then instead of writing gateway IP address to the client file the text vpn_gateway should be put there.

Example:
option unchecked

Code: Select all

push "route 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 10.8.0.1"

option checked

Code: Select all

push "route 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 vpn_gateway"

So to clarify, I'm altering files on the router itself, not the .opvn files that it's popping out?

I managed to setup the OpenVPN server on my router, setup DDNS, and grabbed a .opvn file for my laptop. Worked like a charm when I was on the road. However, the Android OpenVPN client keeps giving me an error that there's a configuration error in the .opvn file I made for my phone.

Not super critical since I have mobile data, but would be nice if I could get this to work, particularly for banking stuff.

Yes the modification is to the script on the router and files on the router.
OR
Update to the latest snapshot builds and the “client prefers vpn_gateway” option is already there
