Hi. I have tried to use ExpressVPN with the R8000, following ExpressVPN's setup instructions - but i loose WAN connectivity when I enable the OpenVPN client on the router. I hope someone can help resolve. Thanks in advance...
The details:
1) ExpressVPN provides detailed instructions for setting up on DD-WRT, and I've used it successfully on an different router, flashed with the DD-WRT BIG build.
2) on the R8000, the VPN screen is different than the VPN screen on the "BIG" build. The differences I see on the screen are:
a) The ExpressVPN setup shows a box called "MSS-Fix/Fragment across the tunnel", with a value of "1450". That box does not appear on the DD-WRT screen.
b) DD-WRT now has a text box called "PKCS12 key". This box does not show in the ExpressVPN setup instruction.
c) DD-WRT now has a text box called "Static Key". This box does not show in the ExpressVPN setup instructions
d) DD-WRT now has radio button for "User Pass Authentication" - I have this disabled.
3) ExpressVPN's OPVN configuration file contains 3 keys: TLS Auth, CA Cert and Public Client Cert. I've pasted those keys into to the DD-WRT's corresponding boxes ("TLA Auth Key", "CA Cert" and "Public Client Cert".)
4) when I enable the OpenVPN client, WAN connectivity is lost. Using Chrome, Web pages report "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT".
5) As a test, I left the OpenVPN client enabled, but removed the key from the "TLS Auth Key". That maintained full connectivity, but without a VPN - it acted as if the VPN was disabled.
I would be greateful for any assistance. I am only moderately technical, and VPN is outside my skill set, so apologies in advance if i need too much handholding.
Thanks,
Lorne
