Hi @kev2021,

I’ve been using Open VPN on ASUS for years from me to my mom’s Router with no problems, here is what you need:

Router 1 and Router 2 mast have different LAN IPs example: 192.168.1.1 and the second 192.168.50.1 (it’s up to you), if you connect from OVPN app on Android or PC you can leave the same IPs because different IPs matter only if you connect from Router to Router,

some notes from my Server settings:

1. Protocol must be “UDP” if “TCP” no connection from Asus client is possible, in VPN client settings “UDP” “TCP” it doesn’t matter.
2. Server Port needs “443” for good security, default port 1194 is Open.
3. Firewall must be “External only”
4. HMAC Authentication must be “SHA 2” (SHA 256).
5. If Respond to DNS “Yes” no internet access is possible.
6. Compression needs “Disable” for good security

Very important:

after generating .ovpn file open it (edit) with Text Document and change Router IP with your DDNS xxxxx..asuscomm.com or whatever you have…
