I inserted this in the Firewall. Now I can remotely connect home with PureVPN on through OpenVPN in DD-WRT, but this would let me remote in through my ISP's provided WAN IP.
My goal here, as my desktop computer has two ethernet ports, is use the LAN#1 for usual internet traffic and LAN#2 for exceptional (as in what I designated) traffic. LAN#2 will receive traffic through my ISP WAN, LAN#1 goes through OpenVPN.
Also helps with video streaming devices, or VOIP devices so they will bypass the VPN.
PureVPN is such a rotten company I feel sorry for everyone.
This is a automated script to install PureVPN on your DDWRT Routers.
Make sure OpenVPN Client is Disabled and Your Router has a WAN connection so it can get out to my .com name and grab the file.
##############################################################################
1) Login to your DDWRT router and go to ADMINISTRATION... COMMANDS
3) When the router comes back up go to the Services... VPN tab and enter your PureVPN username and password and also whatever server you want. Do not change anything else. AT ALL
Let users in here know it worked for you and share your results.
I have automated scripts for all other Major VPN's (Top 25 like IPVanish, PrivateInternetAccess, StrongVPN, ExpressVPN, NordVPN, etc...) also, but I hustle them and they are also guaranteed to work.
Your Welcome
Also @ eibgrad...
Please edit your top post to remove all that crap. It isn't needed and will only confuse people.
I ran the script. Took a little while and wasn't sure if it was working because it didn't do the normal reboot. It seems to be working fine. I'll know in a couple of hours, that is usually when the last script set I had would fail and I had to release/renew.
I play a lot of online games. Would it be better for me to run UDP? Sploit you script had it set for TCP, didn't know if I could change it without messing anything up.

First of all, THANK YOU for your script that allowed me to connect to PureVPN. Spent the last 2 weeks trying various VPN providers and VPN protocols and finally got a setup that works.
I am located in Tampa and was wondering what I have to do to change the PureVPN server to one closer to me.

Login to your ddwrt router and go to Services... VPN... and under openvpn client change the server to the purevpn florida server.
usfl-ovpn-tcp.pointtoserver.com
All of the .ovpn files that purevpn has, has the the server names located within the files.
Here is the zip file.
Inside the zip are .ovpn files that you have to open in your flavor of a notepad and find the server name for the city or country closest to your location.
Your welcome.
Also... I may start working on getting the udp fine tuned today or tomorrow.
Sorry, I corrected the server to be for tcp. I had posted the udp server. _________________ My Karma ran over your Dogma

I ran the script following the instructions. But I keep getting a "Client: RECONNECTING tls-error"
Any suggestions?
Cheers!

The reason for this post is that PureVPN refuses to post it on their own forums (managed by DISQUS). And so I'm posting here both for posterity's sake, and as a reference for users of PureVPN and dd-wrt.
Of course, this is the situation as of today (2/6/2017), and things might change/improve in the future. But as of now, there are so many errors in their instructions, I feel compelled to correct them. And if not at PureVPN (preferred), then at least here.
For the record, here's their current instructions for OpenVPN w/ dd-wrt.
Before getting into the details, please be extremely careful in copying anything over from their webpages and directly into the dd-wrt router's config. Apparently the author used a word processing editor, and in many places that editor has turned double quotes (") into enhanced quotes (which are more curly), and double dashes (--) into enhanced double dashes (which look more like a longer single dash). The problem is pervasive. This will drive you batty because it will appear to be correct, but Linux will not be able to read it.
Some good examples of this problem are w/ the username/password script, and the alternate script, specifically the openvpn command line.
With that issue aside ...
1. Do NOT change anything on the Security->Firewall page.
2. You *must* enable NAT and Firewall Protection on the OpenVPN client GUI or else LAN clients behind the router will not be able to use the tunnel. The router itself will be fine and appear, for all other purposes, to be functioning normally.
3. The following startup script and the corresponding auth-user-pass directive in the Additional Config field are only necessary if the OpenVPN client GUI doesn't have the User Pass Authentication option (an enhancement made a couple years ago w/ some dd-wrt builds). Just enable it and specify the username and password there.
Even if you find it necessary to use auth-user-pass and the above startup script, the first two lines are unnecessary. The last one will suffice (no point in consuming precious internal router storage (aka nvram) if you don't need to).
Personally, I find that last line confusing. It almost appears as if the word "purevpn" must precede the username and password. I'm sure that's happened to at least a few people. A better script would be the following, where you instruct the user to replace the words username and password w/ their actual PureVPN username and password.
Simple and to the point. This is also more consistent w/ their instructions for the alternate script.
4. I advise to never to use any scripting provided by the VPN provider (this one probably got me banned/censored ). There's absolutely no reason the OpenVPN GUI shouldn't work. With scripting, you may lose access to other features in the GUI, like Policy Based Routing or updates to the OpenVPN status page.
If you decide to use their alternate script anyway, beware there are others errors beyond just the enhanced double dashes (which itself is enough to prevent execution). For example, there is no OpenVPN directive called --down-pre that takes a script/command as an option. Rather, --down-pre takes no argument, and its sole purpose it to tell the OpenVPN client to call the script associated w/ the --down directive *before* the tunnel is closed rather than after (the default).
The following is a corrected version of the alternate script (w/ some minor additional changes as well).
5. Although optional, it's not a bad idea to enable nsCertType. This checks to make sure the certificate from the OpenVPN provider is of type "server" (as opposed to "client"). This is an additional layer of security to protect against man-in-the-middle attacks where an authorized client attempts to connect to another client by impersonating the server. Now don't panic if this causes the connection to fail. It's most likely the VPN provider didn't specify the certificate type when the certificate was generated. And in that case, just don't check the nsCertType option.
In general w/ OpenVPN, less is more. Avoid the temptation to start messing w/ this or that option, esp. if you don't know what they do. Most of the time the defaults will work. Ppl tend to *over* config the router, and that just creates opportunities to make more errors.
3) When the router comes back up go to the Services... VPN tab and enter your PureVPN username and password and also whatever server you want. Do not change anything else. AT ALL
