What is the detailed problem when you import the configuration files? Did you check this: [http://www.gl-inet.com/docs/openwrt/openvpn/#using-expressvpn](http://www.gl-inet.com/docs/openwrt/openvpn/#using-expressvpn)   BTW: This may not work in China because they block openvpn protocol and vpn server IP addresses. ---

the problem is: when try to import ovpn file , not save the file . the coomand “auth-user-pass” inside ovpn file is not accepted or recognized . after remove this command is possible to import the file . then need add manually , but not work no ask for username and password . in link you send me show need username and password . but in this firmware release not work . also my home own vpn need username and password and have the same problem . need to fix auth-user-pass command . for me NOW WORK because i change manually the command auth-user-pass in "auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/auth.txt " where inside auth.txt are written username and password. but all must do manually cannot import file.   pptp with my server not work because continuly connect and disconnect . I fix it whit these two command inside /etc/ppp/options.pptp lcp-echo-failure 20 lcp-echo-interval 5 maybe the value are not the best but with these the connection not drop down . also pptp connection have problem , when disconnect reset wifi connection and somethime hang . this is bad way to restore route impostatiion. sure this firmware need work to fix al lot of bug. i have a lot of big router like asus tplink and dlink . they work without problem and more more fast . but this is very little and good to have inside my bag , I think after fix some bug will be good portable router . I have two pieces of this router . maybe will be my solution in china . because past wweek when I was in china I discovered that openvpn with japan site work very very fast and i may watch italian stream TV. impossible to do with openvpn italian server too slow .       ---
