Thank you guys for reading this. Last week I installed Gargoyle 1.5.11 to replace OpenWRT on my 1043nd since it provides a very easy-to-use gui of OpenVPN server. After I configured it without changing the default settings, it said it was running, but I cannot connect to it from either a Windows PC or an iPhone.
The windows client was stuck to this information:
Sun Nov 17 15:12:26 2013 OpenVPN 2.3.2 x86_64-w64-mingw32 [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [PKCS11] [eurephia] [IPv6] built on Aug 22 2013

Sun Nov 17 15:12:26 2013 MANAGEMENT: >STATE:1384672346,WAIT,,,
And after a while it seems to attempt another try, and stuck here once again. The server side shows that OpenVPN is "running, connected, IP: 10.8.0.1".
I have searched this problem for days in our forum, but failed to find similar cases. So I wonder if any of you know what is wrong with my OpenVPN server. Thanks a lot!!

Thank you!! Today I re-flash my router and then set up the OpenVPN server, and this time it works both on my PC and iPhone flawlessly. Thank you so much!
