I've just managed to connect my iphone to dd-wrt using OpenVPN.
It is a bit tricky because some of the guides are outdated or missing some information, but I finally managed it. If you have problems, ask here.
Are we expecting SoftEther to be part of the next batch of Kong releases? If not, I think a guide to setting up OpenVPN would be very beneficial to quite a few people!
Things I had to do differently or take care about:
- make sure to use openvpn 2.1.4 and not anything later, otherwise there is no easy-rsa
- use the opttion "nopass" when calling the build-keys-server batch file
- add the lines "script-security 2" and "comp-lzo" to the server additional config
- change the management port from 5001 to 14 in the additional config
- set the cipher to "cipher bf-cbc" in the client config file
The howto also contains a few debugging steps if it doesn't work right away that are useful. If you are stuck, you can post here...

PPTP is broken. Do not use.
Blowfish (bf-cbc) & 3DES are broken due to SWEET32. Do not use.
Hello Kong,
do you have any progress with Softether?
Looks to be in today's 30800M, though no idea how to configure yet.
Thanks for reporting,
@Kong, can we have a guide for this?
Just use the softether windows client, connect to the running softether on the router configure it, once it is working the way you like it export the config and paste it into the config box. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

I can't connect with the vpn client. Which is the port on which the server is listening?
I also loged in via telnet on my R7000 router and started the softether server manually (vpnserver start), but the client can't still connect to the server. I tried following ports: 443, 992, 1194 and 5555.
Found a part of the problem. I tried to connect to the LAN side of the router instead of the WAN side. I was able to connect to the router with the windows client using the WAN IP address. I configured the VPN sotftether server but still can't connect to the server using L2TP.
I can not connect to the softether VPN server. I'm getting an Error code: 1.
I've installed for testing softether on a linux machine and was able to connect and configure it. But I'm not able to connect to the softether server on my R7000 router.
I connected to my router via telnet. "ps | grep vpnserver" shows 2 running processes.
