Proton VPN with ER605?

Sunday - last edited Monday

Model: ER605 (TL-R605)

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: latest

Has anyone anywhere got this working? Why are the options so limited? Can it not support 256 or TLS?

Also, why the hell are there not verbose logs i can look through to see why the client is failing to connect?

that's simply not true. It's is most definitely, or has been, advertised as being a VPN client capable router. It has options for configuring as such in the settings. Please Don't give me that canned bull response. Provide some actual support.

all we need is an option to at least see the logs during a connection attempt, to at the very least troubleshoot. Or, perhaps remove this functionality if it's not expected to work or if you won't support it or provide any documentation on your implementation of it.

it's pathetic.

@Sqltallstar and it looks like

AES-256-GCM

wasn't supported at some point. So, you could just mention "we don't support a lot of newer implementations of Open VPN because we don't want to update our stack, sorry".

rather than just play dumb.

ER605 V2 supports:

Fun enough. We had some users with third-party VPN vendors and they(vendors) would not provide any details with their server version, and compatibility details. No reasons were provided.

How do we guarantee that the compatibility?

And for commercial use, the most important thing is creating the connection from A to B and away from the company to the HQ. These are the most common scenarios for the VPN.

Of course, I know why you ask for this Proton VPN for the sake of hiding real IP or streaming services. Everyone who asks the third-party VPN vendors' compatibility is seeking the same goal here. But these stuff were never really working great on individual routers due to various technical reasons. You might only try ours. You can try some others and see how it goes. And conclude which one is good enough for your scenario and purpose. Some home routers are even better at this. This is a traditional business-type router for the scenarios I mentioned. And third-party compatibility is not our development priority and has not been planned.
