Hey guys,
I have a Netgear r7800 and the OpenVPN server has been working fine for past year but that's no longer the case. Is there a fix in the works? I've tried the last 5 firmwares but without any luck. Also noticed this ticket, not sure if it's related: https://svn.dd-wrt.com/ticket/7177#comment:2
I've also inquired on the OpenVPN forums and they said the server software might be too old. The error I'm getting is "no data channel send key available". I've made no changes to any of my settings. Thanks.
Kernel, I did not. I've set it up according an an online guide about a year ago and went through numerous firmwares since without any problems. Everything has been working fine until couple of weeks ago. Was wondering if anything changed on the OpenVPN side since it just stopped working without making any changes on my end. Should I rebuild it from scratch?

Any other guide outside of this forum is irrelevant. There have been changes that may affect configuration, and functionality. Here's the forum thread link:
I'll try another DDNS Service and if not, rebuild VPN a third time. Keep getting p_CONTROL_HARD_RESET_CLIENT_V2 error in the logs. Thanks again and will come back to update you at a later time.
Getting the same error on freedns:
Thu Jan 1 06:34:52 1970: INADYN:IP: Error '0x16' resolving host name 'freedns.afraid.org'
Thu Jan 1 06:34:52 1970: W:'RC_IP_INVALID_REMOTE_ADDR' (0x12) updating the IPs. (it 0)
Seems the ISP is assigning non-routable IPs to clients (100.103.*.*). That's the latest; will update if I can convince them to give me a different IP or lmk if you have any suggestions...might have to switch ISPs again.
