[SOLVED] OpenWrt 18.06.1 - luci-app-openvpn

Hello there, i am new here. Just installed the latest openwrt on my new linksys wrt3200acm.
All works pretty fine. But now i tried to configure the router as an openvpn client.
luci-app-openvpn installation was without any errors. But on the webinterface i cannot add new configurations. when i try and push the add button i come to the next page but there are no config options, they are greyed out. i can push save but nothing happend.

is it possible that the luci-app-openvpn got a problem in that version ?

thank you very much.

That package should be OK to start/stop VPN-instance.
But configuring OpenVPN is much more reliable in CLI over SSH.

hmm. Okay i will configure it via cli but when a package gives a gui option to add a configuration and that doesn't work, i think it works not as designed. maybe there is something broken.

thank you.

That bug regarding adding new openvpn instances via LuCI GUI has been fixed in trunk (not in 18.06 tree yet!) with this commit https://github.com/openwrt/luci/pull/2154/commits/c2656a722097a7b4004d2da9c223b347cfa1a4af

Thank you for that information. I just set it up successfully via command line.
