OpenVPN hybrid vpn connection setup

[darrin17]

Hello, 

I am trying to setup an openvpn configuration on the hybridvpn section of my router XR450 

Firmware version

XR450 V2.3.2.114

I have a .ovpn file that works on my android. see below

 

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote <PERSONALDDNS.NET> 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
remote-cert-tls server
tls-version-min 1.2
verify-x509-name raspberrypi_6366fed8-e944-49a4-8e9c-36983927cd90 name
cipher AES-256-CBC
auth SHA256
auth-nocache
verb 3
<ca>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
<alpha numeric stuff>
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</ca>
<cert>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
<alpha numeric stuff>
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</cert>
<key>
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
<alpha numeric stuff>
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
</key>
<tls-crypt>
#
# 2048 bit OpenVPN static key
#
-----BEGIN OpenVPN Static key V1-----
<alpha numeric stuff>
-----END OpenVPN Static key V1-----
</tls-crypt>

 

when i submit this in the advanced section I get this in the log:

neither stdin nor stderr are a tty device and you have neither a controlling tty nor systemd - can't ask for 'Enter Private Key Password:'.  If you used --daemon, you need to use --askpass to make passphrase-protected keys work, and you can not use --auth-nocache.

 Exiting due to fatal error

 

 

I have tried with username and password, as well as setup a user without a password. 

based on the logs, it seems to be the auth-nocache line. But I don't know how to proceed. Unfortunately I could not find a solution online.

Can I imbed the user name and password in the code? or is there a specific tag needed when adding a new pivpn user?

 

PLEASE AND THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

Who is your VPN provider? Unfortunately Hybrid VPN doesn't currently work if you're just routing it through an OpenVPN server.

Bummer,  this is unfortunate. It is for a personal deployment of open vpn.  Is there any work around for this? Duma  v3?

 

Or perhaps through a server of some sorts. What are my options?

You can remove the auth-nocache and replace it with auth-user-pass and make sure you've set a username and password for the server, enter it in the boxes on advanced and it might work
