Enter VPN Server Address to Server IP/Name.Click on „Security” then „Firewall” and set „SPI Firewall” to „Disable” and click „Apply settings” button to save.ħ. Set „Start OpenVPN Client” to „Enable”. Uncheck all three checkboxes for „Use DNSMasq for DHCP”, „Use DNSMasq for DNS” and „DHCP-Authoritative” and enter 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 into „Static DNS 1”, „Static DNS 2”, „Static DNS 3”, „Static DNS 4” textbox as seen on the screenshot. Builds or versions other than v24-sp2 (12/22/14) may have bugs preventing OpenVPN connections.Ģ. Software version that has been tested to work on VPN servers is DD-WRT newer build. Open a web browser, and load the following address: Note, set your network connection to obtain IP address automatically if you connect to your router via Ethernet.Ĭheck your DD-WRT firmware. Connect to the DD-WRT router using either an Ethernet cable or by joining the wireless network ‘dd-wrt’. I'm sure there are specific guides for your router on how to configure it to support IRC without completely disabling the hardware firewall.1. Solutions for users who cannot send because of a firewall. * Configure the firewall to permit incoming connections to a range of ports, and configure clients to use those ports for DCC send, unless the ability to transmit files outside of your network is against your security policy. * Configure the firewall to permit outgoing connections on any port, if it fits within your security policy. Probably the easiest solution, but also the least desirable, as you lose all security provided by the firewall this way. Solutions for users who cannot send or receive because of a firewall:

I'd try out one of the solutions suggested by the IRC Help document: I would personally not disable the firewall.

Port forwards still need to have a target IP address specified before a response can be sent.
