VPN Unlimited and my DDWRT Router

VPN

Has anyone successfully setup their DDWRT router with their VPN Unlimited account? I emailed their tech support, and they replied back with info for both PPTP and OVPN, but I wrestled with my router for a couple hours with no joy.

PPTP:
They provided me with a customized username and password, as well as a list of their international servers. But my DDWRT router is also asking for the following:

  • Remote Subnet
  • Remote Subnet Mask
  • MPPE Encryption
  • MTU (default: 1436)
  • MRU (default: 1436)
  • NAT Enable/Disable
  • Additional PPTP Options (if any)

OVPN:
I received config files for all their servers, which include the CA, CERT, and PRIVATE KEY, but I think I’m missing the static key, based on my experience successfully getting VPNinja working on my router. I received the following OVPN commands, but am missing so much more that the DDWRT webpage is asking for:

  • client
  • dev tun
  • reneg-sec 0
  • persist-tun
  • persist-key
  • ping 5
  • ping-exit 30
  • nobind
  • comp-lzo adaptive
  • remote-random
  • ns-cert-type server
  • route-metric 1
  • remote {VPN Unlimited’s Server FQDN without brackets}
  • proto udp

Can anyone fill in the (many) blanks here? Do I use the customized username/password provided for my PPTP, or do I use my account standard username/password combo? Thanks in advance for any help given.

Don’t use pptp it is no longer considered a secure VPN technology because it relies upon MS-CHAPv2 which has been compromised.

Download the .ovpn config file and open it in a text editor, then save the static key to a seperate .key file

i’m not worried about security/encryption, i just need to temporarily fake out location detection, then turn it off once the stream starts.

the .ovpn file contains all certs and keys except the static one, the one i seem to be missing.

if there’s no static key in the config then vpn unlimited must not use tls authentication.

might be easier just to use a web proxy if you’re just trying to fake your location…
