Dynamic DNS URL not being used in OpenVPN config file
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I'm using and Archer C2300 v1.0 router and firmware version 2.0.0 build 20170922.
I've set up dynamic DNS using TPLink. It says that my domain name is bound to "mydomain.tplinkdns.com" (not actually "mydomain").
I've set up the OpenVPN according to this link: http://www.tp-link.com/en/faq-1544.html.
When I export the config file, however, it always lists the static IP address in the OpenVPN config file. Here's the start of the config file, with the IP address changed for privacy:
[CODE]client
dev tun
proto tcp
float
nobind
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo adaptive
resolv-retry infinite
persist-key
persist-tun
remote 123.4.567.89 1194
[/CODE]
That actually works fine - I can connect to the VPN, but it will stop working when my IP address changed. I would have expected my dynamic DNS address to appear in the last line:
[CODE]remote mydomain.tplinkdns.com 1194
[/CODE]
However, if I change it to that, then I can no longer connect.
What's going on here?
