The manual displays a different set of options and features in the advanced menu.
@jlanderson227 and @Dam, this likely a bug. Please PM your serial number for me to take a look.

TIA for your assistance!
Hello!
I have exactly the same problem. Cam someone help me as well?
Hi @Rick-DC, @Michael234,
I’m interested in doing this on my B20x.
I have NextDNS CLI running on a RaspBerry Pi however as a resolver for my LAN. from what I’ve read, seems they don’t work very well together.
ProtonVPN is using its own DNS servers to deliver its ad blocking as well, so a little redundant, but what is nice is it would cover all my devices across vlans.
My only concern is bandwidth if every device on my home network is funneling through the wan VPN. I know some overhead is incurred with VPN. ProtonVPN also offers a feature to Plus plan members called Secure Core. Basically directing your VPN traffic to their Secure Core servers before heading to your target VPN server. Great for security, but bad for speed and latency.
Unless i selectively direct some devices to VPN and others to regular WAN.
I guess it depends on various use cases. eg. routing streaming devices through WAN VPN to bypass region blocks for instance.
@Rick-DC - Would you be able to share an OVPN file you used for ProtonVPN. I’m attempting to configure my router for ProtonVPN using the downloaded files, but I keep getting an ‘invalid ovpn file’ error on the peplink, but not using an openvpn client.
Any ideas? Any screen shots? Did you have to create a certificate and install it on the SOHO?
Hi. As a matter of policy we don’t save sensitive client information so we do not have that .ovpn file. Sorry. I do know we did the same thing a couple more times after I wrote that original message and all was OK. I just reread what I wrote and I clarified/added one thing – in Step 5 one should select “Router.”

This is awesome! On my to do list. Thanks!!!
@Rick-DC - I totally understand. I’ll grab the Router file and try that today.
Did you have to change any of the certificate settings, or just do all the config under the new OpenVPN settings?
For those attempting to upload an OVPN file, it doesn’t work for me from incontrol2, or wireless, but using a wired connection appears to take the file. When attempting from incontrol2 / wireless I was getting an 'Invalid Checksum" error.
Hi. We did not touch certificate settings.
Sorry I can’t help you with IC2 – we do not use it.

Rick - Very helpful. I appreciate the reply. Not messing with certs significant reduces the problem scope.

Hi @TK_Liew, I have the same problem, I opened ticket number 20120004 but it was closed without resolving the issue, can you help me out as well please.
@Cordy, I have checked. The ticket closed due to the tech support couldn’t get a reply from you more than a month. Can you help to check your spam folder? I will put a note to the ticket as you still need a help. Please help to follow up with us in the ticket.
Thanks.

Hello @TK_Liew
Thank you for getting back to me.
I gave up on the tech support beacause the issue was not resolved.
I sought support based on the fact that the ‘Outbound Policy’ was not listed under the Advanced tab as indicated in the example on the website. However, the support assistant according to the response I received on Fri Dec 11 2020 @ 12:16 was that there was nothing wrong with the Outbound policy being under PEPVPN, hence the issue was not resolved. It was when I saw a few other people complain about the same issue and got a response fronm you that I decided to try again.
So the issue was that as raised by others, the Outbound Policy is not listed under under the Advanced tab of my SoHo MK3. Can you help look into this please as the previous support provided did not resolve the issue.
Many thanks

is there any preferences for the opvn file? i’m trying to get torguard working, but won’t connect. Without event logs for this, i’m blind.
@Michael234 Wondering if this could be a viable feature to request, where we could setup multiple opvn WAN profiles, and using outbound policies point to different ones.
I’m thinking here for instance, opvn profiles for bypassing geo blocking for streaming services where you route your streaming devices to, and ProtonVPN secure core opvn profile for devices requiring anonymity on the internet.
I guess this would mean peplink device supporting multiple OpenVPN clients, which may be too high a demand on the hardware,
I have not used the OpenVPN client, so no opinion on it. Still, I suspect it puts a big strain on a Surf SOHO, perhaps, maybe, possibly, too much for streaming video.
