OpenVPN Support

OpenVPN is inferior to our SpeedFusion technology. If you want true hot-failover and bandwidth bonding the only solution is SpeedFusion.

Thanks

If you added OpeVPn client support to Fusionhub, then we could do Speedfusion Bonding to Fusionhub from Peplink hardware and use a third party commercial VPN provider for anonymous and/or geographic routing of more sensitive/vpn aware traffic like Netflix bbc iplayer etc.

A license for an open standard VPN even if $20 is abit of a harsh. Since it was requested back in 2016 and almost any premium home router has support for both client and server mode nowadays. I was going to suggest you start focusing on new wireguard VPN protocol. Ultra efficient, secure and now core in Linux kernel. A great benchmark for future work related VPNs

I mentioned about a month ago I might be pressing my luck as it appears Open VPN is just now happening, but suggested WireGuard be looked at.

It is amazing how fast wireguard is without taking a big hit on the encryption overhead.

Now that 8.1.0 is officially released, when do you expect to have a Beta release 8.1.1 with OpenVPN support available for testing?

Kenny · August 19, 2020, 5:31pm

We are working hard on this feature, firmware will be available soon.

Any thoughts on when you’d be comfortable releasing a beta with OpenVPN?

TK_Liew · September 3, 2020, 8:32pm

OpenVPN client mode is around the corner. Please wait for the annoucement.

Thanks.

Throwing in my support for WireGuard on Max BR1 Pro HWv7 and newer (LTE Cat 20 & 5G). Will obsolesce all the insecure-supply-chain competition.

If I purchased the OpenVPN client license and bought a second Peplink router, can the license be transferred to the new router (or used on both)?

If it is able to be transferred (so only on one device at a time) - what is the process of transfer?

Thanks.

The OpenVPN client license is working, however request that you add password support for an encrypted private key. Many OpenVPN servers encrypt the private key by default, and currently the only way to add these profiles to Peplink is to manually decrypt the private key and put the decrypted key back into the OpenVPN profile before adding to Peplink.

The private key password should be able to be saved when the profile is loaded (similar to username/password), or if not saved, then prompted upon login.

For clarification, the encrypted private key is not the same as an OpenVPN username/password.
This feature is standard on OpenVPN Connect client software as shown below.
