I have setup the open server with dynamic dns provider on the netgear orbi router router RBR20. It generates a set of open vpn files the text of the client opvn file is below. Its default ip address is 192.168.1.1.

client
dev tap
proto udp
##dev-node NETGEAR-VPN
remote dynamic.dns.provider portnum
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo
verb 0
sndbuf 393216
rcvbuf 393216
route-method exe


I can use openvpn gui and upload the config file without fail and it connects and routes me thru the netgear internet connection.

I have a ddwrt router r6700 configured to 192.168.1.1 I go into services vpn define the setting from the config file (dynamic dns url port and input the cert files in all of proper spots then apply settings). It connects to the netgear but I can't enter google.com and get to that site when i am connected to the wifi that the ddwrt router is broadcasting.


Any help would be much appreciated.

First some general remarks.

What router (there are different versions of R6700) and what build number are you using?

To get the best out of DDWRT and the forum read the forum guidelines with helpful pointers:

Using TAP to connect routers has its drawback also iOS and Android do not support TAP, consider using TUN.

Compression is not safe I would disable it, it will be deprecated in OpenVPN.

For TUN setup the networks of Server, client and OpenVPN need to be different for TAP at least the address of the client and server have to be different.

The OpenVPN server setup guide, link in my signature, has a paragraph about setting up TAP if you want to stick with that.
