Just wondering if anyone knows of any issues that arise from trying to configure an OpenVPN server on a WRT1900ACS v1 with DD-WRT FW KONG version R29900? I ask because I'm having more problems trying to get mine working than I expected to have and have read on several boards that OpenVPN didn't work using newer versions of DD-WRT but the old ones worked. I like R29900 and prefer to stay with it. TIA!
So, did you use udp on the server and client and do you have any Androids connecting to your OpenVPN setup using the OpenVPN Connect app? I guess I might have to give R30015 a shot because I can't get stable connections using udp and tcp connects but then grinds to a stop after just seconds.

I'm using UDP with a separate Virtual WIFI APN for the connections. Not using any openVPN apps. Only clients I have using this APN is a Roku box, and a Windows10 laptop. Have not tried with Android but I doubt it would make any difference, cant see that not working.
Are you sure you problem is not with the VPN server you are connecting to?

My bad, apologies. I read your post wrong. I'm actually using OpenVPN client, not server.
Have not played around yet with server. Maybe its time to get my feet wet. Currently Im just using a sshd server and connecting through that with port forwarding. Works pretty well, but an openvpn server sounds a lot better.
