EdgeRouter X to VPN Service

hobbit666

Trying to setup my EdgeRouter X to connect to a VPN service and send all internet traffic through it.

I've got a .ovpn file that has a
<ca>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

<cert>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

<key>
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----

within the file. Along with the settings:-

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 <IP/DNS>
proto udp

How do I add this to the EdgeRouter ? and route the traffic

You did not specify the VPN style, but i recognize this as OpenVPN.

You put the files in a subfolder in the /config directory so that they do not get lost through firmware updates.

Then you make an OpenVPN connection from the command line.

I'll have to be at my desk to get you sample of that.
