Hi All,
I have IPFirewall running OpenVPN using roadwarrior. I have setup multiple clients that can connect using either windows OpenVPN software clients and OpenWrt routers connecting using the pkcsS12 file with a little work on the .opvn file. After the usual trial/error and corrections all working ok. Previously I have had to upload the required .p12 and userpass.txt files to the router using WINSCP and make refrence to them in the .opvn file.
Im having an issue with a Cudy LT700 router (which is running OpenWrt also), and connecting it to the firewall. I have tested two methods but had no success in achieving a connection.
Option 1
Cudy router can be setup as an OpenVPN client and when selected it allows an upload of the .opvn file. I have made the adjustment to the file that i believe are correct, a (basic setup) and the router loads the file. When i use the tls-auth ta.key option it presents a field to load the ta key file. The issue i have is enabling the router to allow me to load the pkcs file. When i use the line “pkcs12 (vpn client name).p12” it reports in the log that its unable to load the file.
At this point i have exhausted options I know of and contacted Cudy support to see if uploading a .p12 file is possible. I was thinking of using WINSCP again to upload the file possibly.
Option 2
Using the .opvn file and referencing the and text in the file individually. When I do this it fails to connect to the server and the Cudy router reports:
[could not load private key file[INLINE]
[soft,prvate-key-password-failure]
When I check the server logs I cannot see an attempt on a connection even being made.
I could use the Cudy just as a modem and use one of the old OpenWrt routers but I hate being beaten by a router
