This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have tried every way I can to get a VPN connection to work .
I do not have a second WAN or a remote site of my own . However, I have tried to connect to my notebook, running OpenVPN server, which was tethered to my cell phone and I was able to connect using a Windows OpenVPN client app, but not with Omada .
In all cases, I have been able to connect from Windows or cell phone OpenVPN client app to servers and using the same .ovpn file in Omada, it does not work .
I created an OpenVPN server on Omada and cannot connect to it with my cell phone . The same cell phone and app worked with my older stand alone TP-Link VPN router .
I see no log reports in the controller interface .
I have found a free OpenVPN server that requires no authentication and once again the Windows client works .
I found the link to the free OpenVPN server on another thread in this forum and it appears that it was working for that individual .
Here is a link to that thread and a link to the free OpenVPN server site .

Here is the OpenVPN server link .

I tried it and it doesn't work in Omada, but it does work with a Windows client app .
I would like for someone with an ER605 to try connecting to that server and let me know if it works for you .
I am seriously thinking that this router is bad . i tried resetting it and adopting it all over again already .
I tried to connect to a free L2TP server and it doesn't work .
This is a free VPN site .

Can someone with an ER605 try one of these servers and tell me if it works or not ?
I have my ER605 connected to a TL-SG2008P switch . And the OC200 is also connect to that switch .
I have tried rbooting and reseting everything .
OK .
I finally got a VPN to work . I reset the ER605 again and after I got it adopted, I tried the same old server configs / settings that I have already tried with no success .
Then I picked another free OpenVPN server, out of one of the several lists from which to choose, and downloaded that config file .
And when I tried it - wowwy wubbzy - it worked . It was very slow . I disconnected and then tried the windows client and it was also very slow .
Then I tried one of the others that I had already set up and it didn't work . Then I tried the one that worked and it didn't work . So, I messed around with trying different ones for a few minutes and then went back to the one that worked and tried it again and it worked again . OpenVPN works as long as there are no credentials needed .
So, I doubt very seriously that rebooting the router was any consequence . I think I just finally found a server that was alive and not full ... I did a few pings; some were dead and I wasn't able to make a connection to some that were alive .
Anyway, I found out that it works . I don't get any log messages though - I guess I need to enable an option in the log settings somewhere .
Connected from Florida to Washington State -> I am tired of messing with this for now . ( I think I need to go on holiday )
