Trying to use Open Vpn on my Android TV BOX
Hi
I am trying to use the Open VPN APP on my android TV box (Android 11)
I have at home the TP LINK Omada ER7206 that supports OpenVpn server.
I have create a profile file and loaded it to the App.
I am getting error that I don't know how to handle.
Something with "Add the server's cipher ('AES-128-cbc)
(attached)
I hope you can help
Thanks

*Read* the very first OPTIONS ERROR in you log.....
.
Open your created profile in a text editor and add
to the
line.
.
Open your created profile in a text editor and add
Code: Select all
AES-128-CBC
Code: Select all
data-ciphers
I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.

Re: Trying to use Open Vpn on my Android TV BOX
Thanks for your reply!
I am not sure what should I do.
I can see in my text editor
cipher AES-128-CBC
Should I replace it to:
cipher data-ciphers
Or add a new line?
And another question please.
Can I replace in the profile file the "remote" line from an IP address with a NO-IP address ("XX.ddns.net) as my ISP IP is changing if I reboot or I get disconnected .
Thanks

The manual is here:
https://build.openvpn.net/man/openvpn-2 ... vpn.8.html
Look for --cipher and --data-ciphers.

Re: Trying to use Open Vpn on my Android TV BOX
We don't use photography to debug problems. Learn how to download your openvpn log from your television.
However ....
Your TV cannot connect to the DNS name of your server because you have a cheap router.
In the config file on your TV, change this:
to this:
where 192.168.1.1 is the internal address of your router on your LAN.
Use the correct address, don't just copy/paste this example address.
