Just found a bug for PIA configs. Files with SPACE in its name will not work. Can you try another one without space?
I cant find one. I need the files with space to work? How do I remove the space?
Can you ssh to the router and modify the file names?
cd /etc/openvpn/
mv “name with space.ovpn” name_with_space.ovpn
Then re-select the ovpn file in the UI.
Or can you modify the filenames first in the zipfile then upload. Before upload again, you still need ssh to the router and remove all the old ones: rm -fr /etc/openvpn/*
This is so unfriendly user hardware for vpn. I bought 14 of these and will be forced to return bc of thi issue
How to remove these? Is there a software?
What app do I use to make such changes? Do I need Linux OS?

This is a software bug that is easy to be solved.
No need Linux, you can use windows: putty or winscp. Both tool will allow you to get access to the router and edit files. If you prefer UI, you can use winscp.
You can just edit this file /etc/init.d/startvpn, line 11
change
/usr/sbin/openvpn $ovpn &
to
/usr/sbin/openvpn “$ovpn” &
I I can recompile a firmware for you to use temporarily.
Let me know if you are able to recompile this file.
Does anyone have a pia vpn file without spaces? I need Australia and US ones.
I revised the bug and now you can use the testing firmware from here: GL.iNet download center
It will be released later.

All you need to do is to rename them, in windows right click and there should be an option (haven’t used windows in years but this should not have changed).
@alzhao. Thank you. I am able to log in now
@alzhao can you test the vpn service from tcpvpn.com and see how fast you get ? When I use their service I’m limited to 5Mbps down, not sure if it’s because of my provider or their vpn service that limits my download speed. I use their singapore server.
@hillz, I just tested using speedtest.com. I used the sg server but the IP is displayed as a Europe IP. I tested speed to EU server and got 5.56Mbps.
It is free account and I don’t think you will get a fast speed, right?
I can’t seem to remove the “force vpn” option. If i remove it and hit apply, it comes back as checked.
What kind of speeds are people getting with this? I’m not able to get more than 4mbit sustained up or down. I have a TP Link WR710N that gets about 8 to 10Mbit using the same config files.
force vpn doesn’t take effect when you have openvpn disabled.
Hi, I have upgraded my second 6416 from firmware 2.12 to the latest firmware 2.19 but there is a wifi problem, the wifi is “off” and don’t start, channels show only “Auto” and “0” (there are no other channels in the drop down menu) and the speed is set to 72M instead of 150M.
Thanks in advance Raphael
whatever happened with the force vpn, I was not able to remove. After that, even with VPN, I was not able to reach internet. I just did full reset and started over.
however, I am unable to get openvpn to autostart. I tried from Luci, Startup, Enable and from command line with /init.d/openvpn enable
after a reboot, it goes to disabled. Is the GLI Gui’s [enable] superceding init.d?
I cannot get this to work with ProXPN. When I upload the ovpn + cert files, it says “cannot find correct ovpn files”. Here is an example config file straight from proxpn.
clientdev tun
proto tcp
remote openvpn-swe.proxpn.com 443
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ssl/ca.crt
cert ssl/client.crt
key ssl/client.key
cipher BF-CBC
keysize 512
comp-lzo
verb 4
mute 5
tun-mtu 1500
mssfix 1450
auth-user-pass passwd
reneg-sec 0
If you are connecting through an
HTTP proxy to reach the actual OpenVPN
server, put the proxy server/IP and
port number here. See the man page
if your proxy server requires
authentication.
;http-proxy-retry # retry on connection failures
;http-proxy [proxy server] [proxy port #]
I got it working by adding the certs and key into the ovpn file as oppose to having separate files.
I suspect this issue is because the directory / location specified in the ovpn file was different than where the router was uploading the files.
@raphael_, please revert to factory settings after you upgrade and it doesn’t work. Generally it is because of compatibility issues.
@AxeBro, you should not use /etc/init.d/openvpn, it works with Luci interface, where you need to input a lot of settings. We disabled it because it conflict with our script, which is /etc/init.d/startvpn
@mw, thanks for reporting, if you could send your zip file to me for a test, that would be perfect. I don’t need any username and password, just need to test uploading the zip.
