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 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
