I have been attempting to use the OpenVPN Client on the RB750Gr3, per this setup: https://support.hidemyass.com/hc/en-us/ ... ient-Setup
This works perfectly on a RB2011.
This works perfectly on a hAP Lite (RB941-2nD).
This does not work on a RB750Gr3.
* The OVPN Client establishes the tunnel and obtains an IP address.
* The OVPN tunnels tx/rx packets increment.
If I do a packet capture on the tunnel interface, I see the LAN client request and the responses from the internet hosts. But, the responses never make it back to the LAN client. The packet capture shows a huge amount of retransmissions and "spurious retransmissions" of packets within ms of each other, in Wireshark. It gives the appearance of packets looping and never exiting back out the LAN interface.
Has anybody else had success with this setup on this specific RB?
Is it possible the multi-core, multi-thread architecture of the RB750Gr3 is causing the issues???
I have tried this on 6.37.3 and 6.38.
Yes, I have disabled FastTrack, all my other mangle rules and queues, etc, etc.

Re: RB750Gr3 - OpenVPN Client - Works on other RB models, but not on this one.
What's your MTU size?
Re: RB750Gr3 - OpenVPN Client - Works on other RB models, but not on this one.
The default 1500 MTU works fine on the RB2011 and hAP Lite. But, just to be sure, I have already tried various 1300 and 1400 MTU sizes on the RB750Gr3 with no change in behavior.
Here is a functional tunnel on the hAP:

I have the exact same router as you and I am connected with OpenVPN AES-256-CBC to work without any problems.
This is the guide which I followed to set this up which worked perfectly.

Company I work for isn't hide my ass but their guide was clear and easy to follow/adapt to own openvpn config settings.

Re: RB750Gr3 - OpenVPN Client - Works on other RB models, but not on this one.
Cool, thanks. That seems to rule out something platform specific to the RB750Gr3. Guess I'll need to strip the config down a bit more and see if it will kick in.
Oh well, the little hAP Lite does 17Mbps with OVPN .. ok for proof-of-concept.

If you purge your openVPN related bits from the firewall and other related bits then follow the guide I posted, it should work.Cool, thanks. That seems to rule out something platform specific to the RB750Gr3. Guess I'll need to strip the config down a bit more and see if it will kick in.

Best of luck and let us know if any of us can try and help you further.
