Deleting the profile seems to have fixed the issue. I have not had it again for several days. Thank You very much!

OK, I was in contact with AirVPN support who were asking for the version of OpenVPN (it's 2.5.8 in DSM 7.2) and also for the OpenVPN log. I couldn't find it and, while googling the subject, came across a post by someone having similar problems with a different VPN provider. This worked for me: - Go to the config generator - Select Router - Don't click on Advanced, just select UDP 443 (I believe that's selected by default) - Select your server/country/whatever you like - Generate the ovpn file In DSM: - Create a VPN profile - Give it a name - Enter your AirVPN credentials - Select the ovpn file you just generated - Click the checkboxes in the next screen - Click Connect and it should connect... worked here anyway. This had been driving me nuts for a few hours. I even tried another VPN (free trial) which didn't work, so I was really wondering if the server's VPN module was broken!

About Tomato Firmware Tomato is a small, lean and simple replacement firmware for Linksys' WRT54G/GL/GS, Buffalo WHR-G54S/WHR-HP-G54 and other Broadcom-based routers. Official website: http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato. PrerequisiteMake sure you triple-check that your version of Tomato supports OpenVPN or you'll be sorry. I strongly recommend Toastman's build of Tomato because of its widespread feature support and stability. StepsUnder Basic->Network, configure your 3 static DNS servers. If you wish to use the AirVPN DNS set 10.4.0.1 as first DNS IP address. The Air DNS will enable you to access internal Air services, geo-routing services and bypass ICE/ICANN USA censorship (more information here). About the others, I recommend picking ones from the OpenNIC Project because many of the servers don't keep any logs, which is consistent with the Air service, plus they would allow your internet service to continue functioning in the event of a government-ordered root DNS server shutdown- https://servers.opennic.org/Under Basic->Time, make sure that the correct time zone and server is configured.Download the OpenVPN (.ovpn) file of your choosing under "Client Area -> Config Generator" after you log in the AirVPN site. In the Configuration Generator make sure to tick "Advanced Mode" and "Separate certs/keys from .ovpn files". In order to determine the IP address of the server you wish to connect to, please resolve "servername.airservers.org". For example, for Acrux resolve "acrux.airservers.org". Find the server names by looking at Status page.For the actual configuration, please see the following two screenshots of the Basic and Advanced OpenVPN Client Configuration: Under Basic, sub in your own correct protocol, IP and port in place of what I have in my own config. In the Advanced Custom Configuration text box, the options are as follows: resolv-retry infinite remote-cert-tls server comp-lzo verb 3 Under Keys, you'll need to again text edit your user.key, user.crt, ca.crt and ta.key files, copy the matching keys and certificates and paste them into the text boxes in your router config. - ta.key is the Static Key - ca.crt is the Certificate Authority certificate (in some older builds, "Server certificate") - user.crt is the Client Certificate - user.key is the Client KeyAbout certificates files (user.crt and ca.crt) content, just copy and paste from "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" (included) up to "-----END CERTIFICATE-----" (included).Save all settings.Under Status, click Start Now and count for 30 seconds. Go to https://airvpn.org and at the bottom of the screen it should show you are connected or visit https://ipleak.net for check.
