OpenVPN Client on ER605 V2.0

Tags: #OpenVPN
Model: OC200  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.6.1 Build 20220921 Rel.35903

I have the same question that was asked and not answered in https://community.tp-link.com/en/business/forum/topic/523616?page=1 and the thread was closed/archived.

I'm a new user, sure, but I'm coming from a TP-Link AX55 router which can easily be set up as an OpenVPN client with NordVPN as per Nord's instructions about setting up TP-Link, but in the Omada SDN environment it's just an exercise in frustration.

I can get an OpenVPN client specification setup ok but it doesn't work (my public IP remains unchanged), then later the system deletes the setup configuration.

 

I hope there's an answer out there somewhere. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? Thanks for any help.

Paul

ER605 V2 current firmware does not support OpenVPN with username/password.

 

You will need to wait next fimrware update

Thanks for the response. This is a disappointment because OpenVPN was one of the reasons I bought this device and controller etc and there was nothing to indicate this was a restriction when I purchased it... 

 

Is there an ETA on the firmware update for the fix? Or should I return the device for a refund?

Not sure, but it should be available in next firmware.

ER7206 v1/v1.6 already have the update, so I think ER605 will be soon.
