Trying to get openvpn going on the er706w, wasted a whole day, don't know why this is so difficult
Trying to get openvpn going on the er706w, wasted a whole day, don't know why this is so difficult
I have no idea what I'm doing but giving it a go: I have run through the OpenVPN setup page:
I have tried a virtual server:
I tried a port triggering:
I downloaded the OpenVPN config file installed OpenVPN client on my macbook, connected to my mobile hotspot to test and it fails to connect.
So I tried to see if the port is open:
from mac terminal: nc -zvu <my static ip address at home> 1194
I got a successful connection.
It seems the port is there but I can't connect. I'm probably missing something simple but having no experience with this am shooting in the dark. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Hi @beakernz
Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Try a different port for your OVPN. Does your ISP detect OVPN protocol and block it deliberately?
I don't experience an issue with the OVPN in both the lab and the home environment. It would connect straight.
You can try Wireguard. I am pretty sure that this should work. If WG or OVPN does not, do you have the log on the client? What does the log say?
