GL-E750 OpenVPN ExpressVPN does not connect

#1

I tried to config OpenVPN client for Express VPN and it does not connect for all servers

I am getting the following error

WARNING: --keysize is DEPRECATED and will be removed in OpenVPN 2.6

OpenVPN 2.5.2 mips-openwrt-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [MH/PKTINFO] [AEAD]

library versions: OpenSSL 1.1.1k 25 Mar 2021

neither stdin nor stderr are a tty device and you have neither a controlling tty nor systemd - can’t ask for ‘Enter Auth Username:’. If you used --daemon, you need to use --askpass to make passphrase-protected keys work, and you can not use --auth-nocache.

Exiting due to fatal error

#2

From the log, the config needs a private key passphrase.

So in the ovpn there should be --askpass as one line. If there is no such line, you should add this before upload to the router so that the router will ask for this info.

But I do have one question, why only some server ask this for Expressvpn?
