Force TLS Cipher in OPENVPN Server to Allow DDWRT To connect

[malocite]

Hey,

I have been trying for about a week and a half to get a DDWRT SP2 build 19342 router to connect as an openvpn client to my openvpn server. I have successfully connected the openvpn SOFTWARE client to the server but not the router. I believe I have narrowed the problem down to the router only having two options for TLS Cipher one of them being aes256-sha but my server is trying to use dhe-rsa-aes256-sha.

How can I get the openvpn server to not use anything other than the aes256-sha as its cipher in order to get my ddwrt to connect?

I have found a suggestion that I can also force the router to use the higher cipher but I would need to write a complex script in order to make it work. Unfortunately this script is just slightly over my head and I cannot make heads nor tails of it.

Any advice would be very helpful.

Thank you.

you can add to your server config the tls-cipher directive

f.e

tls-cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
