Just bought ar300m and want to use it as a vpn travelrouter to my own LAN at home. At home I have a Netgear Nighthawk R8000 with a OpenVPN Server. It works with all my devices. Downloaded 4 files in a zip and imported it in ar300m with succes. The ar300m has internet connection through my phone. Now when I tries to enable the vpn it comes with this error:
Now. When I try to connect the ar300m to OpenVPN I have through AirVPN it works flawless.
So my guess is that the files from the Netgear Nighthawk router is missing something or? Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

In the zip file there are 3 other files:
ca.crt
client.crt
client.key
When I import the zip folder it says succesfully imported and i can chose the ovpn file but as mentioned it cant start the connection and comes up with the before mentioned error. Thanks for the help
I tried to remove the line “<span style=“background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #222222; font-family: source_sans_proregular, ‘Helvetica Neue’, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;”>dev-node NETGEAR-VPN”. It then came up with another error. Many thanks for the effort put into helping me, but I think I will stop trying getting it to work with my Netgear router. Thanks again

I did what was mentioned in this forum, now I’m getting a similar error. I’m trying to use a DDNS instead of a static ip route. my config is as follows
client
dev tap
proto udp
remote removed.removed.com XXXXX
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo
verb 5
my error is:
OpenVPN ROUTE: failed to parse/resolve route for host/network: 192.168.1.0
TUN/TAP device tap0 opened

The logs say that it’s an internal ip when I look, but when I view my ip on the internet the VPN has started working and shows the proper ip with the smartphone ovpn option in the nighthawk.
