AirVPN on router

[berniesnoek 0]

Hi, I am attempting to connect to 10.5.0.1 from my Netgear WNR2200. Have put dd-wrt on the router and it works fine. Have set up the router and openvpn as per the instructions on your website, but it will not connect. Any assistance would be great here.

Hello!

Unfortunately it's unclear why you're trying to connect to a private IP inside the VPN (10.5.0.1).

Can you please send us a screenshot of your OpenVPN configuration page in your DD-WRT router and the connection logs?

Kind regards

Thanks for your reply. I am trying to connect my router to your network so that I can access sites in the US etc as if I was a local there from my devices. Here is the Log, but for some reason it is not letting me add the screenshots. I can email these if you give me an address to send them to.

Cheers

Which version on DDWRT are you using? I think I have only had success with 18777 I think.

@berniesnoek

Hello!

The problem is that the router tries to connect to a non-existing public IP address (10.x.x.x.). Please insert, in the "Server/IP" field of the OpenVPN configuration page of your router http interface, the entry-IP address of the Air server you wish your DD-WRT router connects to. An e-mail has been sent to you with further information.

Kind regards

Hi, the version of WRT that I am using is 18767. I have changed the server ip address as suggested and I am now able to get a connection.

Thank you for your assistance, the level of support from your team is supurb I cannot fault it. Hopefully I can now get on with the job of enjoying the connection.

Best regards

Hello again. I am now able to connect to the server as stated, but the performance is very poor. You mentioned that you had had success with the 18777 version of wrt, can you point me to a site where I can get this for my Netgear WNR2200?

Looks like it has a 400 mhz CPU which will limit you to the 3-7 mbps throughput range due to the processing it takes to handle encryption. I had the same issue with my original Linksys E2000 router. That's why I went with a X86 router build. Cost me about $40. A quick local craigslist search shows several old desktops in the $50 range that with an add on NIC would work well. Even older PC's have Pentium 4 CPU clocked at 1.2 ghz and above. In comparison those have triple the processing power of your average consumer routers. I think my build is rocking a 3.2 ghz Pentium 4 which can handle A LOT more processing than a consumer router.
