Hello everybody,
Now I am trying to set it up. I need to install a client on my computer
and generate those files. which client version should I install on my
computer? The same version as the dd-wrt router or the latest version?
if the same version as the server is required, how can I find the
openVPN server version?
Generally install the latest version, although on Linux you can probably
stick to whichever version your package manager provides. Different
versions shouldn't be an issue, but you could run into crypto library
(OpenSSL) compatibility issues if the age gap is several years.
To find the OpenVPN version on your router, open the command line and
run "openvpn --version". Some other commands you may want to run on both
client and router are "openvpn --show-tls" and "openvpn --show-ciphers"
to check that they have some compatible choices between them.
While I always recommend running up to date software, tread carefully if
upgrading your router firmware. Read documentation and read it again,
because things will go wrong if you use the wrong file, do things in the
wrong order, the magic numbers are off by one or the wireless antennas
are not aligned with the horns of the unicorn standing on the north pole
of Mars.
thanks,
James
