DDWRT opevpn and access restrictions not working

jackolantern

Hi all,

I'm a bit stumped trying to get access restrictions and openVpn to work on DDWRT at the same time. They work separately but not together.

I am running  DD-WRT v24-sp2 (03/25/13) std on my router.

I have it set up according to instructions https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/dd-wrt-openvpn-older-build

This works OK.

But my access restrictions no longer work. I fI disable OPENVPN access restrictions work again.

I have tried adding this script to the startup commands (admin->commands->save startup):-

#!/bin/sh 

SCRIPT="/tmp/lan2wan.sh" 

cat << "EOF" > $SCRIPT 

#!/bin/sh 

while true; do 

    if [ "$(iptables -vnL FORWARD | awk '/lan2wan/ {print FNR}')" != "3" ]; then 

        iptables -D FORWARD -j lan2wan 

        iptables -I FORWARD -j lan2wan 

    fi 

    sleep 300 

done 

EOF 

chmod +x $SCRIPT 

$SCRIPT &

If put before the password (openvpn) script entry is kills openvpn (and restrictions work) or after and openvpn works but restrictions do not. 

I have tried another method that failed as well. 

I have some access restrictions based on time,day, and MAC address (for the kids).

Is there a way to get this wot work as I'm out of ideas to try.

Can you not use openvpn and try PPTP? Will that allow access restrictions to work?

Ideally I would like to stay with openvpn as that is the preferred method I believe.

Can anyone please help with a solution or suggestions to this problem?

Thanks
