Issue with multiple OpenVPN Clients

Post by stuart0870 »

I have just configured the router to have an OpenVPN connection via NordVPN which is working fine, but sometimes the individual server connection fails, or I want a connection from a different country, so I need to create another, the router supports 8 CAs but unfortunately when I try to add a second client to one of their other servers the router blocks it due to the username being a duplicate.

Obviously having an email address as the username, there will be duplicates, Billion_Fan, can you please ask your devs to remove this restriction, so I can pick and choose which VPN server I want as necessary.
