Hi Guys,
I'm asking for your assistance please. I'm using a Asus Router RT-AC51U as a client connecting to my OpenVPN Server (Untangle_OpenVPN).
I can confirm that the server is working because I've tested the same cert using the OpenVPN Connect application and that connects with no issues.
However when i use the same cert on the router "client" I get the following error:
rc_service: httpds 213:notify_rc restart_vpncall
vpnclient5[23924]: Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in config.ovpn:37: compress (2.3.2)
vpnclient5[23924]: Use --help for more information.
Please see my client config below...

keepalive 2 10

mute-replay-warnings

If you are asking for support for using another 3rd-party firmware, that may not work out for you. The only 3rd-party firmware currently known for this device is Padavan, which does not seem to have been updated in at least two years by any official or forked version:
