This tutorial takes you through the exact setup process for configuring an OpenVPN client on your router. It will work with any ASUS router running the ASUSWRT firmware. It will also work for any VPN provider that supports OpenVPN connections.

We do the tutorial with 2 VPNs, one that has the CA certificate embedded in the .ovpn config file, the other has a separate config and certificate file.
