Are using the latest Open VPN client app on your PC, have you loaded the latest Open VPN profile from your router into the client app?

Did you set any DNS settings on your PC because the error seems to be related to DNS setting.

Yup, using the latest OpenVPN client and loaded the latest open vpn profile into the client app

Pc dns settings is set to the default value

On your PC, clear the DNS cache and set the DNS manually, can use Cloudflare DNS, Google DNS.

Just tried that, got the same result

Was the Open VPN working fine on your PC before Asus WRT Merlin firmware?

You mentioned that it was working on your iPhone after Asus WRT Merlin firmware, any improvement for the Open VPN connection?

Are you able to share the advanced settings of your Open VPN on the router, like this:

yup, it was working before the merlin upgrade

After the merlin upgrade there were some improvements on the download speed

sure, here's the screenshot of the advance settings

Try setting the interface type to "TAP"

Got this error when trying to import the profile



edit: looks like I'm using the wrong version it seems, I was using openvpn connect instead of openvpn

Looks like internet traffic isn't rerouting to openvpn sever after switching to the openvpn client from openvpn connect and switching the interface from TUN to TAP

Revert back the setting to use TUN interface. Still figuring out what is wrong.

1.Remove the DNS settings that you set earlier in the PC.

2.In Asus router Open VPN advance config set "Advertise DNS to clients" to No.

Just tried it, still doesn't reroute the traffic on my PC

Edit: Looks like IPV6 traffic isn't being rerouted for some reason, disabling IPV6 shows that IPV4 traffic is being rerouted

1. Able to surf websites now after disabling the IPV6 on your PC?

2. Using OpenVPN Connect on your PC?

1. Yup
2. Open VPN connect gives the dns error but OpenVPN gui works

Ok, how is the performance of the Open VPN connection now, better? I am also not sure why the IPV6 traffic is not being rerouted.

Yup, I belive it's rougly in line with the expected speed, not too sure about the ping since I'm testing at a different location now(unifi 100mbps)

ah, understood, but can run alongside any pc u have
