I tried this about a year ago, and it
didn't work for me, because the router I had at the time (some
netgear thing I believe) didn't have enough memory. Todd C. told
me that you can get vpn to work on earlier routers(yes, earlier
ones), because they had larger memories. In later models they used
smaller memories, I imagine for cost savings..

I just went through this myself not

some caveats).
I used tinyca to generate the certs, quick google finds many
how-to's for this. I can give you the rest of the dd-wrt
settings I have setup to make it work on mine. Using
networkmanager-plugin-openvpn works nicely here to connect.
Caveat I can't seem to make work is getting dnsmasq to respond
on another vpn subnet I'm routing as well, as I split a separate
subnet for vpn users. Downside is it breaks dns resolution when
connecting, so not viable for full remote access, but I'm
usually just rsyncing files to my filer at home anyways.
I also couldn't figure out how to get a working ovpn file to
deal with a windoze box connecting. Linux works fine, I tell my
windoze-using friends no file access for them.
It otherwise works just fine connecting to hosts in the main
local vlan subnet, and I can route to the internet if I override
my resolv.conf manually for dns until I play with dnsmasq
again. Everything I did seemed to break it from working at all.
There is some sore documentation here around this for sure. I
never made it fully work to bother fully documenting myself.

I've got a router running DD-WRT and I'd like to enable the
OpenVPN feature on it. But, I'm a little confused with the
configuration mostly in the category of "additional config".
While I've found a few blog posts on configs, it's unclear what
the defaults are and if they're actually sane defaults for my
(super simple) VPN needs. Has anyone looked into this and have
recommendations on what good defaults are there? I mostly want
to connect with devices/machines running Network Manager, so I
have a good deal of configurability available.
Thanks,
Ted
