OpenVPN Connect iphone version 3.3.3 for Asus Merlin router server

Post by bradetter » Wed Apr 26, 2023 12:11 am

I am trying to import the .ovpn file and the iphone Connect app version 3.3.3 is totally unresponsive.
I'm exporting the client.ovpn and server_ovpn.cert from my RT-AC68U Merlin router with latest firmware (sent to phone by email).
I've double-checked the .ovpn and it looks ok to me. I've tried both UDP and TCP, to no avail.
The iphone Connect client does nothing after I add the file and input username/password. The app ends with a blank screen at < Imported Profile at the top.I can't find any client log files to try and debug!
Meanwhile the server acts like it isn't seeing anything. I have verified the DDNS is configured properly via ping and nslookup.
.ovpn file below: (I also tried without TLS auth
