r6300v1
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r49113 giga (06/07/22)

The field for DH PEM seems to be missing? Or was it replaced by something else?

Screenshot - https://imgur.com/a/4OLnG6r

Serverlog for VPN shows this:

Code:
19691231 16:00:00
19691231 16:00:00
19691231 16:00:00

19691231 16:00:00
19691231 16:00:00
19691231 16:00:00
19691231 16:00:00
19691231 16:00:00


while the date on the router is set correctly:

Code:
# date
Wed Jun  8 01:31:17 PDT 2022


Is OpenVPN busted in this build? DH PEM field should show up regardless of the config right?

Enable Advanced options and/or read the manual (a sticky in this forum): https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=327398

A lot has changed so reading the manual might not be a bad idea Smile

Its not under Advanced Options, I already looked. Im no pro at VPN, but it seems like DH PEM is sort of a requirement for handshaking...

I also looked through the guide before post and it does not talk about DH PEM. It was there at least a while ago as every video guide for setup I looked at uses it.

Post a screenshot when Advanced Options is enabled.

To be sure first refresh browser cache CTRL + F5

Thanks, somehow I ended up with DDWRT OpenVPN Client setup guide v16. Which was missing all of that.

Thanks all I think issue is resolved. As in most cases issue was between keyboard and monitor Very Happy

Although I will make a snarky remark that DDWRT could use better documentation/organization of said documentation. But its always been like that.

Yes, make all the remarks you want, this is opensource and every aspect requires volunteers to make things better. That means more users like you to be annoyed enough to take matters into their own hands and fix the issues.

I did, and you can too.

For the most part snarky comments is the extent of the the contribution, so thanks for telling us what sucks and will continue to suck until someone rolls up their sleeves.

Don’t worry I’ve done my share of wiki editing for years now.

I'm not worried why would I worry? If you have credentials for the dd-wrt wiki so much the better, else you need to ask for them, otherwise it's locked for new registrations.

All contributions are welcome.

Anyway, enjoy your Sunday.
