Dd-wrt Openvpn Generate Tls Auth Key

From DD-WRT Wiki

Using tls-auth requires that you generate a shared-secret key that is used in addition to the standard RSA certificate/key: openvpn -genkey -secret ta.key. This command will generate an OpenVPN static key and write it to the file ta.key. This key should be copied over a pre-existing secure channel to the server and all client machines. Setting up an OpenVPN connection manually on a DD-WRT Router with TorGuard is very easy and can be completed in just a few steps. 1.) Type the router's local IP address into your web browser's URL bar and login into your router. By default, this is typically 192.168.1.1 Click the Services tab, then click the VPN tab.

Dd-wrt openvpn generate tls auth key for windows 10

How many OpenVPN clients can connect to the OpenVPN server on the WRT?I guess that OpenVPN uses a lot of CPU.

[edit] logging of openVPN

How can i see openvpn is working or see where its breaking up??

and does someone know how i can mount a samba share and where can i see that it is mounted??

Dd-wrt Openvpn Generate Tls Auth Key For Windows 10

[edit] I am getting an error that says Options error: Bad --mode parameter: server

When I run:

/tmp/myvpn --dev tap0 --tls-server --ca /tmp/ca.crt --cert /tmp/server.crt --key /tmp/server.key --dh /tmp/dh1024.pem --comp-lzo --port 1194 --proto tcp-server --mode server --client-to-client --keepalive 15 60 --verb 3 --daemon

I get the following error:Options error: Bad --mode parameter: serverUse --help for more information.

Thoughts?Thanks,Viper

[edit] OpenVPN w/new built 7/22

BS and developers has '..gimme a response if it works now. there is a brctl replacement inside with limited features like addif, addbr etc..'

Could someone else verify that OpenVPN server is working with the latest buit 07/22? I've upgraded but can't test from WAN.

History of OpenVPN - couldn't get OpenVPN working with any built after 06/15. Reported in the bugtracker.

Thanks

[edit] Bad '--mode parameter: server'..

Dateline: 3-sept-2006 - All looks fine but on startup vpn won't start as server. Manually entering rcstartup info reveals the error being thrown is 'bad --mode parameter: server'. Per the OpenVPN site 2.0.x should support the 'server' option. Running v23_sp1_vpn. in /tmp, if running './myvpn --version' response indicates 2.0.x (I think it was 2.0.3 or 2.0.6 - not sure which at this pt.) Any ideas? Can email me at: bstack.ddwrt(at)mailnull.com Tnx!

(Edit on 5-sept-2006) - I got OpenVPN to work by removing '--mode server client-to-client' from the startup script. JStrauss then updated the config file. This new config file works for me in it's current form and includes the lines formerly offending. Thanks! Your efforts have resolved the issue. B.


(November 28, 2009) Working Routed Configuration. I have vpn routed between two clients and the server. Mode server is assumed and expanded to include tls-server same as server SUBNET NETMASK expand the same. Best to use tls-server with a ta.key for tls-auth. Client's use tls-client with both tls-remote SERVER NAME and tls-auth /tmp/ta.p em.For Static config you should use jffs and use !#/bin/sh to make the tunnels+ifconfig and route add with a sleep 5 mando fallowed by the call to the .conf.

[edit] vpnc

Many organizations use Cisco VPN and distribute their VPN setting in Cisco VPN .PCF files. There should be an easy way to use DD-WRT to access a VPN that is specified in a .PCF file

The Host key in PCF is the Server IP in the GUI but what about all the other settings? The kvpnc frontend for VPN clients allows to import PCF-files, maybe this helps, but as far as I understand OpenVPN is a completely different system then Cisco VPN?

Well, then probably vpnc should be used - has anyone tried to use vpnc at DD-WRT? Free key generate software.

See http://wiki.openwrt.org/VPNC for vpnc support in OpenWRT - looks like I have to switch to OpenWRT :-( -- Hendrik 02:50, 30 Nov 2006 (CET)

openvpn is different von vpnc. completelly different. but also much more flexible and more secure. the cisco vpn has several lacks and troubles with many routers. openvpn can simply tunnel through everything including http proxies

Dd-wrt Openvpn Generate Tls Auth Key For Windows 7

One of the most common problems in setting up OpenVPN is that the two OpenVPN daemons on either side of the connection are unable to establish a TCP or UDP connection with each other.

Dd Wrt Openvpn Configuration

This is usually the result of:

Openvpn On Dd Wrt Router

  • A perimeter firewall on the server's network is filtering out incoming OpenVPN packets (by default OpenVPN uses UDP or TCP port number 1194).
  • A software firewall running on the OpenVPN server machine itself is filtering incoming connections on port 1194. Be aware that many OSes will block incoming connections by default, unless configured otherwise.
  • A NAT gateway on the server's network does not have a port forward rule for TCP/UDP 1194 to the internal address of the OpenVPN server machine.
  • The OpenVPN client config does not have the correct server address in its config file. The remote directive in the client config file must point to either the server itself or the public IP address of the server network's gateway.
  • Another possible cause is that the windows firewall is blocking access for the openvpn.exe binary. You may need to whitelist (add it to the 'Exceptions' list) it for OpenVPN to work.
