I have recently updated my build from 37305 to 37582 on a TP Link Archer C9 v3 router. I would like to add an HDD, and my older build has some known issues with adding HDD. My PIA VPN was working perfectly on the old build, but I can no longer get a connection, I get "Wait" as seen below:

Any suggestions would be appeciated.

[egc]

Something in your setup is wrong, maybe related to network settings.
I think you are using port 1196, try port 1198

You have a new router has anything changed in your network setup?

Post PIA settings (screenshot of Service/VPN page, leave out password)

The PIA guide is quite good: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/helpdesk/guides/routers/dd-wrt-3/dd-wrt-openvpn-setup-2

Thank you Sir. It was the port.

[will0772]

I am having he same issue. I moved, the router would not pick up information from the cable modem, so I reset the router. Now adding VPN, erroe or connection when viewing the status page. Any thoughts? I followed the guide but I must be missing something.

[bushant]

When you reset you may have enabled Shortcut Forwarding Engine.
That probably does not work with Policy based Routing if you are still on that older build. (Or new ones lately)

If so try disabling that on Setup->Basic Setup.
May need to reboot after.

Hope this helps.
