@Fae hi my VPN provider is nordvpn and yes it's username and password plus config file.

@Fae 

When do you expect that option to be available? I purchased a TL-R605 specifically because of the advertised OpenVPN functionality, but it is missing required configuration fields. NordVPN tech support confirms that username and password are required in order for the router to connect to their servers

I am able to connect to NordVPN servers through my QNAP NAS (tutorial here: https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/NAS/1047411102/How-to-configure-QNAP-4-4-2-NAS.htm ). I expect TP Link will have to add similar VPN configuration fields in next firmware update.

@Fae 

I have the same issue. I looked into adding the credentials to the openvpn config file but that's not possible as far as i can tell. You can configure the openvpn file to reference another file with credentials but this leads to the same issue. We are missing extra config options in the router UI.

I'm using Omada to configure my router too. 

I tried adjusting this line of my config to have it try to pull a seperate file. But there is no second file upload dialog.

auth-user-pass login.conf

This is would be fine and dandy if i had a openvpn server that was not using credentials and keys, (just keys only). But that's not the case. I need to be able to enter credentials in.

As a side note, the openvpn server component is also lacking in this area. We should be able to have usernames and passwords there too for clients we want to setup. 

Another side note, I can't seem to find the status of the VPN (server or client) in my omada controler. This kind of sucks, can't tell who is connected. Can't tell if i'm connected as a client. Just shows "enabled = green dot". 

Please fix this soon. 

@deerskin Agreed. How can they claim the product supports OpenVPN if it lacks support for basic concepts like authentication? What a scam.

@Martin_Theobald 

This is still broken and I'm facing the same issue

No idea how you can advertise that it supports OpenVPN when it only supports 5% of what openvpn offers.

Absolute nonsense

@Martin_Theobald 

Any ides when this will be implemented please?

Thanks

Hi,

I got the same issues, I tried to connect to my Open VPN server of my work but without access to auth method it is impossible. I tried to find the location of the OpenVPN certificate with SSH on the router without success. @TP can you add a way to auth this in your next version? (or allow only two files to be uploaded on OpenVPN config)

This still seems to be a problem with the v1.2.0 firmware for the ER605 gateway.

I would like configure one of my VLANs to connect via ER605 to NordVPN/VyprVPN while the other VLAN uses the local ISP
