So you want me to upload the golden key to the network on the form, No I do not think so, this file is not shareable.

 

But let me ask in another way. has anyone managed to use ER7206 as an OpenVPN client?

I tried with an ASUS router and on it worked with ovpn file which did not work on Tp-link.

 

@Fae 

 

 

I have sendt support a e-mail but only answer from them was to send me manual on Omada SDN  

 

So not much help there.

 

But if somebody can confirm that it work, I don't think it do.

@shberge It wil only work TP-Link to TP-Link since any other will require username/password and TP-Link does not support that.

 

@Fae  this has been an outstanding request for while, to either permit user/password in the GUI or provide a location in the router to place the user/password and point to it with the OVPN file.

 

This would be a really useful feature and would love to see it in a release soon

@HomeAdmin 

I have a solution that works now, but it is very very slow, 2mb,
VPN is an OpenVPN server on Ubuntu where I can create clients without a password.

Have a dialig with tp-link ang speed so we will see what happens.

 

the solution is quite good with many configuration options on the server.

but with this speed you can only do simple tasks, do not copy a lot of data.

 

 

I like the Tp-link gear, but it really is missing some basics so it's hard to recommend it to anyone at the moment.  Simple things / quick wins they could implement seem to be taking forever

 

Two examples are adding username/password to the openVPN protocols (both when it's a server or client) and mDNS.  I can't imagine this would take them too long to develop and test and would make quite a lot of users happy, and really help the prosumer uptake.

 

 

I have the same issue with surfshark. I have the ER605 router and here below i report my ovpn file

I need to input the username and password to allow the VPN connection to start... any help will be appreciated.
