Error installing .ovpn file with AR300M

TedK · 2018-03-31T04:03:49.234Z

I have my Verizon Wifi jetpack tethered to AR300M. I am wifi connected to the AR300M to access the internet. All works fine. When i try to drag a .ovpn file to the UI i keep getting the error “Cannot find correct ovpn files!”

I have tried both buffered vpn’s .ovpn files and now Nord VPN .ovpn files which are supposed to work according to info Ive found on this site.

What am I doing wrong? Is there another way to install the .ovpn onto the router through terminal?

I am using the GL-AR300M with firmware straight out the box 2.264.
I am using Linux

any help appreciated

heres the tcp.ovpn file… i tried to install the zip and the individual files.

IIRC, Nord OVPN files should have the key and cert in them.
Also, do you have the file path to your user/pass after “auth-user-pass” (eg. auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/auth/2018xxxxx.txt)

I copied your text, save it as tcp.ovpn and upload to the router. The router accept it.

What is the exact name of you configure file and zip file?
