Hey All, I've got a Vigor 2862 and love the thing except a little niggle. I've been trying to get the OpenVPN dial in option working with this router and failing miserably. So, first I setup a PKI and generated some keys using easyrsa3. All the certificates check out when verifying them with openssl and my router accepts them with no complaints but I couldn't get a connection. So I found a little write up where someone set this up using XCA.I generated a set of certificates with XCA and those work. I get confirmation that they've been accepted for the connection.

After this occurs, everyone get's booted while a connection is trying to establish, then the router resets? Total lights out for a few seconds then it comes back online. Did anyone hear of this issue before? It's a real head scratcher as I can lift all this and pop it into a standard OpenVPN server install and it works as expected. The only thing in the logs are these lines about a hard reset.

This isn't really my department and I've not got a clue where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.
