[Solved]Followed OpenWRT tutorials OpenWRT refuse connection

[JW0914]

Don't come to any forum and patronize people, its rude and quite irritating. Yes this is an OpenVPN forum, however THIS THREAD was about OpenVPN on a WRT1900ac that was running OpenWRT.

BB already worked with the local directive, as tens of tutorials online had already shown since at least 2012.

I've stated multiple times I am on CC and the local directive prevented a VPN connection on my WRT1900ac.

Yes Michael found a workaround, however then you stated you investigate further, as the local directive should not prevent a VPN connection from succeeding, and is why I asked Michael to leave the thread open for a few more days.

Flame war aside ..

If you "stop" openvpn via your GUI . does it work ?

IE: does it termininate the openvpn process ?

No... I've tried it both via Luci and via uci, neither causes a different result. There's obviously something different in how iptables either routes traffic in CC, or how it compiles its rules from uci.... As even forwarding the WAN zone directly doesn't allow traffic to flow to the VPN

openWRT version of openVPN is a customised version .. for a start (openWRT:BB) does not support --management ..
I have no idea in what way openWRT configures iptables except that it assumes a port-redirect (as shown above) for local interfaces.

As I do not have access to openWRT:CC I can offer no further help.
