I have flashed 45955 and the upgrade for my tp-link router. Configuration is complete. Now I want to establish a VPN connection on the router with NORD. They told me that 45955 was a beta version with flaws that prevented a connection to their server. I can't believe that no one has addressed the issue yet. Can anyone offer help? I can fwd a copy of the NORD chat if it will help.

All builds are beta.

Either get a better provider or use the forum search function:

My experience with flashing many many DD-WRT builds over 4-5 years: if all your really running is OpenVPN client, most if not all builds will work for your needs.
You would be very unlucky to flash a build that will not work. 99.9% of problems with DD-WRT is user configuration errors.
Please post your VPN config and output remembering to keep your pictures no more than 768 wide, & removing your user/pass and any mac addresses for assistance.

I will transfer this to the appropriate forum (Advanced Networking)
(To get the best out of DDWRT and the forum read the forum guidelines with helpful pointers:
https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=324087)

I am interested what their helpdesk has to say, you can PM me the conversation or post it here.

As @egc suggested, *all* builds are considered beta. Been that way since I've been on this forum. I have no idea why, but perhaps it's some legalese used as a disclaimer. Most likely the helpdesk is just seeing that word and assuming the firmware is NOT to be trusted. But the term beta can be safely ignored.

You believe? NordVPN's finest blame shifting support, and I am sure their config instructions are perfect too.

Why focus on a single build from a month ago? Upgrade once again, NordVPN support rep should be happy.
