Edit: Sorry I missed your “client” qualification – as noted in @Steve’s answer to you, below. Sorry to confuse you. But, sounds like a great opportunity to rearrange your architecture, if necessary, to usue PepVPN or Speed Fusion.
I read the release notes and was afraid it was only for remote access to the network behind the peplink (openvpn server) at this point vs. being able to make the peplink device an openvpn client which is what I’m looking to do (openvpn client).
If FW 8.0 enables the peplink to function as a VPN client that will be great!
Yes, what/when can we expect regarding OpenVPN support? By the looks of it this is one of the most requested features in the past years… For me, as a home-user the lacking of OpenVPN support is certainly a reason to consider other router brands when my license expires.
@eaglesha From your problem description I can’t work out at which point you are stuck, but if you follow these instructions you should have a working OpenVPN remote access setup : Configure Remote User Access using OpenVPN
At any point in the near future is Peplink planning to add OpenVPN (client) into the firmware? This feature continues to be requested (at least early 2015) yet no support offered.
Does Peplink have plans to support OpenVPN in client mode or not? The silence is deafening on this matter, even as it remains very requested for multiple years.
In a mobile world, this is becoming more and more a must have and a key consideration I need to have in choosing whether to continue in the Peplink infrastructure or not.
Reading between the lines it sounds that this is not being considered to limit clients to Peplink’s proprietary services, which never seems to work out for tech companies in the long run.
Agreed, OpenVPN client support is becoming increasingly in demand
A lot of companies and government departments are pushing for the use of open standards.
We work with a custom hardend version of OpenVPN that we would like to use on Peplink equipment. If OpenVPN (vanilla) would be supported, it would absolutely increase our willingness to buy more Peplink hardware!
Please consider to support this ASAP, if need be via a license key purchase!
