I am trying to set up the OpenVPN server on my router, and can enable the feature and export the certificate.

 

Unfortunately when I load the certificate in to OpenVPN (Android app) I get an error about missing <//ca>

 

I edited the file and modified </ca> to <//ca> and </cert> to <//cert> in the hope that it would work, but now I get an x509 certificate routines:key values mismatch error instead!

 

I've run out of ideas ... anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks

Hello @adge 

 

Thank you for reaching out to us and welcome to the TP-Link community.

 

When uploading the OpenVPN certificates into the VPN client, there is no need to modify any parameters or settings. You may refer to the configuration steps in the following FAQ:

How to use OpenVPN to access your home network through the Wi-Fi Routers

 

If that still fails, please show us the error messages on the VPN client software, then we can suggest further.

I have managed to resolve this particular issue (unfortunately VPN access still isn't working as I can't connect externally to the server, but that seems to be because my ISP is using CGNAT - I can find my external IP address ok etc).

 

The problem seems to be down to how Samsung/Android saves the ovpn file when downloading it from an email. If I download and then select in OpenVPN I get a parse error, but if I load the ovpn file in to the OpenVPN app directly from the email app then it works!
