What build of DD-WRT is best for an OpenVPN Server?

BigGeorge

I have a Linksys E3000 that I purchased from Sabai Technology with DD-WRT v24-sp2 (11/21/10) mega (SVN revision 15778) when we lived in the middle east and used a 3rd party VPN provider.

Now that we are back in the USA, I have been using it as just a plain old router for our home. I would like to make it an OpenVPN server. In this build, there is an option for an OpenVPN Client and and Open VPN Daemon, but not an "OpenVPN Server" which is referenced in the instructions I have found elsewhere in this forum. The Daemon has some of the same options as the server, but not all.

I wonder if I need a different build of DD-WRT. I have search the DD-WRT forums, but it is to say the least confusing.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Not sure about DD-WRT but I've been using Shibby's latest build5x-110-EN tomato on the E3000 that serves as my remote TAP UDP OpenVPN client in a site-to-site setup with good results. Shibby also has included the latest build of OpenVPN 2.3.2 into his firmware code! 😉

Thanks for the tip. I had not thought about using a different package.

I noticed that there are about 6 different versions of the 110 load. Which one are you using?

Thanks,

Went with the basic generic VPN for E3000 linked above.

Following the flash, performed Erase all data in NVRAM under Administratrion/Configuration.

Confirmed using the latest OpenVPN build by telneting into router and executing openvpn --version, came back w/2.3.2! 😉

Thanks for the tip.

I flashed the Tomato build you recommended and am able to connect to it using the iOS OpenVPN Connect app on my iPad. However, it doesn't operate as I thought it would in that while I can access the local network through the VPN, I cannot access the internet. I search for possible solutions, but didn't find a consistent response. Any suggestions?

Thanks
