Ok so here is the get down.
The Great Developers at ddwrt always have your security in mind.
This being said, DDWRT uses newer OpenSSL that PureVPN is just now deciding to impliment.
HOWEVER, it is not necessary completely...
For all of you out there banging your heads into paste, here is what you ADD to your openvpn "Additional Config" section
Code:
tls-cipher "DEFAULT:@SECLEVEL=0"
Add that to the bottom line.
It will overide the TLS-Cipher options in ddwrt.
This does work and I just tested it to verify.
Again, I hate this company. I only did this because I feel sorry for their victims
I Will update my installation script to have this.

Shouldnt be down. Let me check

Update
Not down. You didn't copy and paste the code correctly.
Copy and Paste it exactly as it is on my guide on Page 1 of this thread. NOT anybody elses comments or comments to my original post. ONLY my post. Other people modify my posts and change stuff because they think they know what they are doing and clearly don't.
Not gonna explain why, you should be able to see it.

Thank you, copied from your post and it worked. Just some observations on non-related VPN settings that it also tweaks:
For Time settings, I had to remove the server name and choose US/Eastern to get things working.
The script re-enabled Telnet, which I had shut off for Security, and it also turned off my System Log and remote monitoring settings.
I changed my DNS back to 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1, and 208.67.222.222. I also had to re-tick Forced DNS Redirection. However, in Syslog, it appears that my ISP DNS is leaking:

But I got so frustrated with this particular vpn company I just wanted to help out others who don't have that much skill to not want to put a gun to their heads.
I've wasted countless weekends over the years feeling just as you described @sploit, so thank you very much for your help supporting those of us poor suckers who bought lifetime memberships to the absolute worst VPN provider for routers - PureVPN.
Thanks for this Spoilt, it worked for me for quite some time but now I'm not sure what is going on. I actually emailed a support email address thinking I might reach you there but decided to try here also.
I have tried resetting the modem and reapplied your script but have to remove this line for it to work at all:
tls-cipher "DEFAULT:@SECLEVEL=0"
Everything still seems to connect for me but I just cant connect to any web addresses due to DNS.
Here is what my log says. If anyone else has any ideas I'd be really keen to hear from you
Client: CONNECTED SUCCESS
Local Address: 23.229.3.195
Remote Address: 23.229.3.195

Have you tried a different server?
I am not tech support for PureVPN
Yeah man I tried a few different ones.
That's all good man, thanks for your reply. I'll keep trying different things. Can I buy you a coffee anyways? This has been a god send while it worked

IF something changed on PureVPN's side it could cause a problem also. That company does that frequently.
If you are getting a connected success but not getting data throughput it could be dns, but likely it is the encryption algorythm that is off.
I haven't installed them in a while so I should test them on a router really quick _________________ My Karma ran over your Dogma

The server is: nl2-ovpn-udp.pointtoserver.com for UDP and nl2-ovpn-tcp.pointtoserver.com for TCP but I live in Holland. You can simply replace "nl" with the right country-code.
With the replacement crt script from purevpn can you use a wrt firmware newer than September 2017.
I use Spoilt's code and it works .
I have tried changing the DNS to 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1
They have a slower connection. And crash my router.so I have gone back to the original _________________ £££££££££££££££
