GL-MT3000 OpenVPN client cannot connect to PIA

I have successfully set up OpenVPN client with NordVPN configuration files, but when I try using Private Internet Access configuration files, it will not connect.

I have tried both TCP and UDP, both CBC and GCM, both AES-128 and AES-256 and I have tried different servers.

The same server works fine using my Windows PIA client.

Is there a way of getting the whole log file? In the GL-iNet web UI, the log file keeps refreshing and only shows the last page so I cannot copy a full log to share here.

This is a subset of the log:

Hello,

Please confirm that the same PIA profile connects properly on Windows and that your IP address on ipinfo.io reflects the VPN.

Please double-check that you've entered the correct username and password when uploading the profile to your router.

It is working fine in my tests:


Please export the full log file logread.tar by clicking "Export Log" in the top-right corner of the page System -> Log , send it to me in forum PM.
