Openvpn on Openwrt

Post by Maverick923 » Sun Sep 26, 2010 10:36 am

I have a paid provider that I want to configure openvpn on the openwrt gargoyle buid.

The provider has given me a username and password along with a ca.cert.
openvpn seems connect when I use openvpn /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf, but I would never know. because when I go to myipaddress.com, I can see my isp address.
I think I am having a routing issue. I have been searching for a way to get this going, but it seems that I am the only
one who wants my router to connect to a vpn provider. This worked in Windows. I really need help with this. Please some help me out.

Here are my files that I have created or modified

Code: Select all

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote 67.228.228.186 1194
keepalive 10 60
resolv-retry infinite
;persist-key
;persist-tun
ca /etc/easy-rsa/keys/ca.crt
auth-user-pass auth.cfg
;mute 20
comp-lzo
pull
verb 3
firewall.user

# WAN interface
 
iptables -F input_wan

### Open port to WAN
## -- This allows port 22 to be answered by (dropbear on) the router

### Port forwarding
## -- This forwards port 8080 on the WAN to port 80 on 192.168.1.2
# iptables -t nat -A prerouting_wan -p tcp --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.2:80

### DMZ
## -- Connections to ports not handled above will be forwarded to 192.168.1.2
# iptables -t nat -A prerouting_wan -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.2

it's real hard to help people with their vpn provider's setup. you should get help from them.
ps, try without filtering stuff on the firewall
