No OpenVPN client credentials can be entered in firmware 1.2.1 on ER605 v1.0?
![](/avatar/avatar-9.png)
From what I'm reading in this forum, it appears newer firmware, unavailable for the ER605 v1.0 hardware, is required to create an OpenVPN client that requires credentials? Username/password can't be entered?

V2 has what you need, but if you wait a few weeks, I think there will be an update to the ER605V1 which is roughly the same as what V2 has now.
this is something i think, i don't know
if it's urgent, you can buy ER605v2, this is also more powerful, but remember OpenVPN is super slow. 15-20Mbps on a good day.

@blackburied I guess another way to look at this is: what services allow a credential-less OpenVPN client (and have been tested for use with the ER605)?

@blackburied I tried setting auth-user-pass in the opvn file to a local file with credentials, but that still doesn't work. It says everything's fine, but the VPN isn't being used.
So, the real question is: what VPN services can be used with the OpenVPN client using the v1.0 ER605 router?

@blackburied Not getting any replies to this... so am guessing the OpenVPN client is useless on the v1 hardware as there are no services that don't require credentials.
If I bought the v2 ER605 hardware, would it work?

not OpenVPN, it's about the same. but if you use IPsec, this is much faster, I have some v2 devices with site to site and there the speed is about the same as the specs. I have not tested L2TP, but I would think it is also faster.
