OVPN Client not importing .ovpn file
OVPN Client not importing .ovpn file
For some reason the OVPN client function isn't working.
I am trying to add a VPN server, I managed the server myself and I have multiple other clients that have no issue.
I add the client.ovpn, the upload goes from 0% to 100% as seen below
Then I click save and get this
As if I never uploaded the config and I can't add the server.

You are right, when trying to upload an *.ovpn file via remote connection the router should display an error message. The screenshot below was taken from an AX53 V1.

Hi,
Would you mind posting the section of the *.ovpn file that contains all the settings? (without keys, certificates, domain name/IP address)
That might give TP-Link support a clue.

Also I can add that the upload is throwing an error but it's unhandled by the router admin site and isn't shown but it is posted to the browser console.
cant post the error due to forum blocks for some symbols so here is a screen.
Also 2 warnings about deprecated features.

I just did a little test. I took one of my own *.ovpn files, removed the settings section and replaced it with what you posted. It loaded into my Archer AXE75 without any problem.
Can you please check if the certificate section of your *.ovpn file follows the format below? Since you use password authentication you might not have all the sections, but still check if the format with the < > and / is correct.
<ca>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</ca>
<cert>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</cert>
<key>
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
</key>

Yes all those exist, I have also tried edit it manually but same. The site says that the required field isn't filled even though it is.

Does your AX55 actually take any *.ovpn files at all? Have you already tested with other files? In case you don't have one at hand, then download one from https://nordvpn.com/ovpn/ or similar websites.

@woozle
It does not, I tested two different files, nordVPN and a ovpn generated by the AX55 itself which I also tested on a different client and that works, so the OVPN server works but the client page wont accept any .ovpn file.
I think the webpage is broken, the script that should set the field as filled when a file is uploaded doesn't trigger it, guessing that the page error regarding JSON is the problem but might be something else. Been awhile since I messed with pages and scripts so not sure if I can force the right field to acknowledge that it has a file, or if it is a upload failure.

Hi, based on the video, the firmware version 1.2.6 Build 20231130 rel.36135(4555) is not the beta firmware actually. I guess you downloaded it from official website or updated it via online update of the router.
The beta firmware is also 1.2.6 Build 20231130 but the rel number is different from the official 1.2.6 version official firmware, please get the beta firmware from the thread I sent and update it manually.
