I just flashed archer c60v1 with OpenWrt 19.07.0 r10860-a3ffeb413b. I need help with expressvpn openvpn setup. I have installed Luci-App-OpenVpn and Openvpn-openssl package. After upload .ovpn file in luci i can see my config but client not starting with start button. Where i can put my user password for expressvpn. DO i need some other config firewall etc?
I recommend you to configure similarly to AirVPN: https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/20303-airvpn-configuration-on-openwrt-preventing-traffic-leakage-outside-tunnel/
If you have any questions, please, PM me.
Check initially, whether string 'auth-user-pass' presents.
After you uploaded the .ovpn file, if you click on Edit button, there is a box at bottom of page to enter username and password. See third image in this wiki page:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/openvpn/client-luci
You also will have to configure the firewall and tun0 interface.
Suggest reading through the ' 4 - OpenVPN Client for HH5A v1.2 PDF written for HH5A but works with other routers too for setting up openvpn client using only LuCI.

Should be able to get about 12+ Mbps openvpn speeds on a C60 v1
Hi i follow this guide https://ryanrudolfoba.com/blog/2019-07-26-windscribe-vpn-on-openwrt-wdr3600/ according to rededit its working with express vpn but i have problem with dns servers for expressvpn. Is this are correct ones https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.expressvpn.com/support/troubleshooting/set-dns-servers-for-windows/amp/
The Expressvpn url you provided suggests they only use public DNS servers such as Google.
Can you ping public DNS servers such as 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, 208.67.220.220 etc through vpn tunnel ?
If ping fails, there is perhaps a problem with your configuration.
Check your DNS servers are correctly defined in LuCI > Network > Interface > LAN
Nice, please, ask author of that guide.

Just want to say thank you all my expressvpn is up running. Speedtest 10+ not great for ultrahd but i will test other servers. I set dns servers LuCI > Network > Interface > LAN thx to @bill888 and then follow with firewall form https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/openvpn/client-luci
fwiw, you probably won't see 'significant' improvement above 10+ Mbps with your router. Speed over wifi will be slower that ethernet.
