OpenVPN client does not work

[lollapalooza]

I've got a router with OpenVPN server in the remote site (my parent's house), and a WNDR3700V2 with Gargoyle 1.8.1 at local site (my home).

Remote router supports both TUN and TAP.
TUN is listening on port 12973
TAP is listening on port 12974

By using OpenVPN client on my PC (TAP), I can safely log in to the remote router, so config is fine.

I know that Gargoyle does not support TAP, so I'm trying to configure TUN clien... In OpenVPN client config folder I've got 4 files:
ca.crt
client.crt
client.key
client.ovpn (* - see below)

I don't need to enter any password: auth is granted only via certificate.

When I try to upload the files to Gargoyle router in local site, I get "Please Wait While Settings Are Applied" and it stays there forever.

Here follows content of client.ovpn file

Code: Select all

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote xxxxxxxxxxx.mynetgear.com  12973
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo
verb 5

In case it's needed, here follows the config file for TAP:

Code: Select all

client
dev tap
proto udp
dev-node NETGEAR-VPN
remote xxxxxxx.mynetgear.com  12974
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo
verb 5

do a failsafe reset

many of my VPN problems where created with a bad config file creation. e.g. clicking on buttons before the config was finished.

next just use the default settings, until you get it working anyway.
