G+_Carlos Battousai Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 So I've been trying to setup Open-Vpn on my DD-Wrt router and what a pain. There's an old guide on How to Geeks,but it's so out of date! Might be a good project for the show. In the meanwhile if anyone know how to get Easy-RSA to make the cert that'd be awesome. (I'm pretty sure most of this guide is useful it's the RSA part that's missing sets somewhere) http://www.howtogeek.com/64433/how-to-install-and-configure-openvpn-on-your-dd-wrt-router/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_John Mink Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I need to catch up on KH, but I think they recently did an x-86 router.... so I'd love to see if they did (or are planning on doing) an install openVPN on an x86 router. It might be overkill, but shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_David Wiggins Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I run OpenVPN on my pfSense box at home. The forums there had a great tutorial on setting it up ( the most complicated part for me was setting up the certificates). Be aware that many workplaces block default openvpn traffic. If your workplace does, you may want to look into using a different port than the default (generally a good idea anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Adam EL-Idrissi Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Like David said,running openvpn on a pf box. It seemed complicated at first but I saw a YouTube video that showed how to set it up and I saw what I missed. Once you do it once you see how easy it actually is.

G+_Carlos Battousai Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm sure it is,but holy F those certs >_> I can't get easy-rsa going and everything I find is 3 years out of date. Like I said I'm sure it's a small thing a simple step that's been leafed out, but that has me dead in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Adam EL-Idrissi Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Asus routers support openvpn from the factory. They use a tweaked version if ddwrt. My rt-n16 and rt-a66 has support at least. Just is me info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Wiggins Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The basic way the certs work is this: Somewhere is an Certificate Authority certificate (I created my own, since its not going to be publicly available, but usually someone like DigiCert for publicly used servers) and it will be used to create a Server cert for the OpenVPN server (known as signing). From this, a cert for each end user can be signed). These work to prove that the connecting user and VPN server are who they say they are. I'm terrible at explaining things, but this may help explain how it works and what configured example looks like: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/OpenVPN_Remote_Access_Server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
