ANSWERED Cant connect with Asus DSL-AC68U

[coruscator 0]

Hi I bought the Asus DSL-AC68U as recommended in the Asus-wrt guide here: https://airvpn.org/asuswrt/

 

I followed the guide step by step but I cannot connect to any web pages after I activate the .ovpn file.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

One thing I did notice is that the guide suggests ticking boxes for "Direct, protocol UDP, port 443" when generating the .ovpn

but I cannot find these check boxes.

 

So instead I generated by continent and chose the top protocol option "UDP 443 Primary Recommended for best performance"

 

Is this where i'm going wrong?

 

Are the "Direct, protocol UDP, port 443" tick boxes hidden somewhere?

 

As I couldn't find them even after ticking the 'advanced' tick box either.

 

Thanks.

My suggestion is for you to use Asus Merlin firmware, where you get much more control over openvpn.  There you can specify what DNS you want to use.  My thoughts are you're having a DNS problem.

You are a diamond!

 

I had been using dns 10.4.0.1 as recommended in the guide.

 

after trying a few alternatives you are absolutely right.

 

I cant thank you enough. :0)
