Step 6

Click "Save" at the bottom. After page refreshes, click "Apply Settings".

Step 7

Click the "Status" tab at the top, and then select "OpenVPN".

Where it says "State" at the top it should say CONNECTED SUCCESS as in the example image below.

Step 8

Congrats, you successfully setup Windscribe on your router.

Step 9

In the Additional config, add this line:

auth-user-pass /tmp/password.txt

Step 10

Then, navigate to Administration > Commands

Enter this command into "Startup" box:

echo username > /tmp/password.txt
echo password >> /tmp/password.txt
/usr/bin/killall openvpn
/usr/sbin/openvpn --config /tmp/openvpncl/openvpn.conf --route-up /tmp/openvpncl/route-up.sh --down-pre /tmp/openvpncl/route-down.sh --daemon

Change username and password after "echo" to your username and password this page (at the bottom)

Step 10

Then click "Save Startup" and then reboot the router.
