[SOLVED] Failed to connect through DD-WRT router

gpieper

I configured my router (Netgear WNR3500L) with the help of https://airvpn.org/ddwrt and can only connect to my ISP. Here is my log if someone can figure it out.

Hello!

Can you please send us information about your DD-WRT OpenVPN setup (if you use the DD-WRT web interface, screenshots are just fine)?

Kind regards

Hello!

The attached screenshot show a correct configuration. Can you please check iptables rules and make sure that certificates and key have been properly copied and pasted? Can you also send us the OpenVPN logs?

Please not that the image links have been removed because of spam and incorrect behavior of the image hosting service used, anyway they have been correctly displayed before the deletion. You can freely attach images directly on out forum.

Hello,

I have the same issue, but with a differet router LINKSYS E4200 v1 with DD-WRT/OpenVPn installed on it.

Version of DD-WRT firmware is

DD-WRT v24-sp2 (07/20/12) mega

(SVN revision 19519)

I've followed the steps described here https://airvpn.org/ddwrt.

Here is my OpenVPN log:

tls-client

tun-mtu 1500

comp-lzo yes

ns-cert-type server

fast-io

tls-cipher AES256-SHA

where it's using "tun1" instead of "tun0" for interface.

According to this I've modified the command sripts to

startup

/usr/sbin/openvpn --mktun --dev tun1

firewall

iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -o tun1 -j ACCEPT

iptables -I FORWARD -i tun1 -o br0 -j ACCEPT

iptables -I INPUT -i tun1 -j REJECT

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o tun1 -j MASQUERADE

NOTE: My home setup has two routers: one from my ISP provider(192.168.1.1) and LINKSYS E4200(192.168.15.1) sitting behind ISP router.

WAN of LINKSYS router is connected to LAN of the ISP router. My laptop connected with cable to LINKSYS router can access the internet.

I've been trying different startup scripts but nothing seems to work.I'm trying to connect to Vega server(DNS 10.4.0.1) using UDP on 443 port.

Please help.

Thanks

Hello,
NOTE: My home setup has two routers: one from my ISP provider(192.168.1.1) and LINKSYS E4200(192.168.15.1) sitting behind ISP router.
WAN of LINKSYS router is connected to LAN of the ISP router. My laptop connected with cable to LINKSYS router can access the internet.
I've been trying different startup scripts but nothing seems to work.I'm trying to connect to Vega server(DNS 10.4.0.1) using UDP on 443 port.
Please help.
Thanks

Hello!

Can you please make sure that your ISP router is working in bridge mode?

Also, can you please try connections to a TCP port in different servers, to check whether you have problems with outbund port 443 UDP?

Kind regards

Hi,

I've modified OpenVPN configuration to connect to the same server(Vega) but this time using TCP protocol and Port 80.

OpenVPN client keeps trying to reconnect to the server with no real success. The state bar shows "RECONNECTING".

When using UDP on port 443 the state bar showed "AUTH".

I've attached the log file and the screen shot with the new configuration for OpenVPN. I've also disabled firewall, so we can focus first on connection.

Thanks

Hello!

Can you please make sure that your ISP router is working in bridge mode?

About the "Unroutable control packet received" error, it is normally due to an invalid certificate (expired or not yet valid). Please check your routers system clocks and that you have properly pasted ca.crt and user.crt.

Hello!

It might be a firmware problem. Can you please try to change version?

Hello!

I changed my firmware version and was able to connect! The OpenVPN setup page on DD-WRT wouldn't accept LZO Compression set to "yes" only "adaptive".

I notice that I have a DNS leak. On my WAN status page it shows 3 DNS servers 10.4.0.1 plus 2 from my ISP. How do I prevent them for connecting?

Hello!

That's great, thank you for the information. Could you please specify the exact firmware version that is working with your router model?

I notice that I have a DNS leak. On my WAN status page it shows 3 DNS servers 10.4.0.1 plus 2 from my ISP. How do I prevent them for connecting?

That does not necessarily mean that you have a DNS leak from your router. First please check that you really have a DNS leak here:

http://dnsleaktest.com

Then, please make sure that the leak is not caused by the devices connected to the router (do not force them to use different DNS servers).

If the leak is confirmed, you might like to read the zdrifter post about that and more (it will prevent any leak):

dd-wrt.v24-18774_NEWD-2_K2.6_openvpn.bin (works)

Thank you, I will try that.

After reading zdrifter's post I found that I use tun1 interface. I added the new iptables (except for the last line) in the firewall and saved. I still have a dns leak confirmed with http://www.dnsleaktest.com

Hello!

They are not visible on the screenshot which is pertaining to the DD-WRT web interface. You should watch at the DNS servers displayed in the leak test site. Anyway, does the dns leak site display your ISP DNS? If so, can you please post your complete iptables rules list?

Kind regards

Hello!

Ok, this new screenshot shows what you say. We should examine the iptables rules.

Hello!

Ok, now we have all the information we need.

A rule is missing:

iptables -I OUTPUT -o ! --dst a.b.c.d -j DROP # if destination for outgoing packet on is NOT a.b.c.d, drop the packet, so that nothing leaks if VPN disconnects

# the above line can be duplicated for as many Air servers as you wish to connect to, just insert the appropriate Air server entry-IP

This is the rule which will prevent leaks.

a.b.c.d is the entry-IP address of the Air server DD-WRT router connects to. is your router network interface (probably br0, determine its name with command "netstat -r").

Important! Please note if you use the last entry above in the firewall (iptables -I OUTPUT -o br0 ! --dst a.b.c.d -j DROP) you will lose access to the router. Thus if the tunnel goes down ...well you know. So you may want to leave this entry off the GUI and if/when you are set up properly and then run it from the telnet prompt. That way if you need router access you can reboot and be OK.

Please see also zdrifter post for more details.

Kind regards
