AR750 with expressVPN

Technical Support for Routers
1

Hi i followed the OpenVPN process and am getting absolutely nowhere. I’ve tried both zipping the .ovpn file from the expressVPN manual config section with the related certificates and also just the .ovpn file with no joy. i’m entering the long character string for username and password provided in the expressVPN site.

i am only using the client, do i need to do anything with the server? when i do that and load up the client i get an error saying conflict with other running VPN processes.

I use ar750 with expressvpn and no issue; just upload the files.ovpn then vpn password.

Did you have other VPN (openvpn, wireguard, ss, both client or server) activated?

If you do not have. Did you just upgrade from an old firmware?

If you go more settings->revert firmware and do a revert it will be OK.

excuse me for re-opening this… I’m also new to VPNs.
I am also trying to use ExpressVPN with a Slate.

Which version of the .ovpn file is used? Are the .ovpn files platform specific?

When I load the OSX .ovpn and add the user/password they upload fine,
but when I try to connect I get ‘command not recognised’ errors shown in the activation screen …
All help appreciated!
