VPN client stuck on connecting IPVanish
VPN client stuck on connecting IPVanish
I have an IPVanish account that works flawlessly however when I attempt to add a device through VPN client list it stays on connecting. I have an XE75 system used as the router. I've tried the TCP and the UDP option, both just say connecting. I've used multiple config files with different locations, same result. Updated the firmware, same result. This has to be an issue on Deco's end. Help please

@casebones yep, figured it out. The Ip config that I would download from my Ipvanish account did not have the CA certificate section. It was missing. Once I copied and paste the CA certificate to the file I was fine. You can contact tech support, they were honestly very helpful.

@El-Wapo I bought a XE75 recently(2025) and the same situation when trying to configure OpenVPN(IPVanish) on router. I try the NordVPN, it works but the speed is reduced from 1000 Mb to 30 ou 40 Mb at maximum.

@El-Wapo Can you show an example of your edited .ovpn file. I have tried entering the certificate but still no joy.

It's been some time now since I had this issue but I believe the file had something like this (and this is a copy and paste from the file):

@El-Wapo Was the certificate information preceded by <ca>?
Also, did you delete the ca and /ca lines?
TP-Link tech support has been no help. They act like they have never seen this before.

So "client" is the first thing followed by a bunch of other info like "auth-user-pass" and some other stuff that ends with....
<ca>
