I've got client.ovpn but router use own setup

Post by brokenby2703 » Thu Jul 14, 2022 9:06 am

Hi everyone.

I'm quite a newbie here as I always worked with .ovpn client files.

I'm playing around with a router which doesn't allow to upload .ovpn config file but need to be setup manually.

My knowledge is limited. I tried for 3 days to learn and move around all possible config but I ca't "picking a spider out of the hole".

Apart from the basic setup like TUN/TAP, UDP/TCP, Server IP/Port, the router asks the following:

AUTHORIZATION : TLS / KEY / CUSTOM
HMAC AUTHORIZATION (for TLS only) : DISABLE / INCOMING / OUTGOING / BIDIRECTIONAL
ACCEPT DNS CONFIGURATION : DISABLE / RELAXED / EXCLUSIVE / STRICT
ENCRYPION CYPHER

CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY / CLIENT CERTIFICATE / CLIENT KEY I've got from the .opvn file.

The OPENVPN server is installed on a cloud hosting using this script:

Everything is working fine when I use Windows OpenVPN connect or Mac or my Android phone
But I can't figure out how to extract the required informations to fill up the router setup.
I have asked the router manufacture but silence...

Here below is the client.ovpn
The client is passwordless.

I kindly ask if someone can guide me the right direction and indicate what I'm mistaking.
Thanks in advance.
Dado.

You have posted your private keys publicly,
you must now consider them compromised and not use them ever again.

To determine what the problem is use --verb 4 in your server config and read your server log.

Hi

Didnt I placed the ***** middle of sensitive parts of .ovpn?
Anyway the server was destroyed before post.

I will do the test with -verb4 and i will come back.

Thanks
Dado
