Draytek support got back to me and as far as the Vigor 2762 is concerned there is not plan to either make passwords longer or preferably support OpenVPN.

All consumer VPN services nowadays seems to enforce stronger credentials though, I assume the router is going to the bin :(

I haven't found a method to configure the username/password parameters via cli. However, there is a backup/restore option in the web interface and the resulting backup file is in plain text. Depending on where/how the limitation is enforced you just might be able to edit the backup file with the details obtained from NordVPN and restore that. The config profiles are one per line, comma separated. The user name is field 25 and the password field is 26.

The limit is not just on the interface as far as I can see. The error I'm getting when connecting is "not enough room in input packet for IKEv2 EAP Message Payload" which seems to indicate NordVPN is now sending packets with a bigger EAP Payload to accommodate for longer passwords and the router doesn't like it.

Doesn't help those of us where the password length is limited to 15 characters in the Draytek inferface (2952 / 2962).



My response from support for the 2962 was that the password length issue had been raised with the developers and would be implemented in a future firmware.

Still some strangeness here with NordVPN. Previously a search would tell me my obfuscated location; now, although the connection management tells me I'm connected to a server somewhere near London, my real location is revealed at the bottom of the search results. This is on a PC with no pesky location settings enabled.

Staring hard at the 8 million options I spotted although the link was up, no traffic was going through. VPN and Remote Access - LAN to LAN has a small tick box at the bottom; "Change Default Route to this VPN tunnel". Was unticked, now ticked, and we are back to an obfuscated location. And the annoying captchas, of course. DuckDuckGo is the answer to that.
