I recently had to replace my house router and I installed DD-WRT on the replacement. Unfortunately it seems to generate a defective client openvpn.conf. Openvpn gives the following error:
Options error: specify only one of --tls-server, --tls-client, or --secret
The configuration that DD-wrt builds from the settings in the gui is
secret /tmp/openvpncl/static.key
verb 3
mute 3
syslog
writepid /var/run/openvpncl.pid
client
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
script-security 2

fast-io

If I remove the client
directive then openvpn works just fine. Is there a way to get DD-WRT to generate a valid openvpn.conf for use with shared secret OpenVPN tunnels? Has no one used the Static Key
box in the web GUI in the past few years?
