Update: I was able to get the VPN Client working after correcting the opvn config file. It looks like you do have to put the username and password for it to work when using CyberGhost VPN.

 

Hi Kevin,

i am having the same issue,

where and how did u put the username and password in the ovpn file?

@Bert_BE If you fail to connect the AX55 to the Cyberghost VPN server, please follow the guide below to create a unified format for the OpenVPN profile:

Manually create the unified format for OpenVPN profile(CyberGhost OpenVPN Server).

 

Please let me know if it will work.

Archer AX23 v1.20

1.0.5 Build 20220216 Rel. 59311(4555)

 

Does not allow traffic to connect to the pptp server. Windows 7 client.

 

 

@Stranger1784 Have you tried the suggestions we provided in the original post, such as connecting to the PPTP server on the Windows 7 with a VPN Client software bypassing the AX23? Are you able to connect fine?

 

If yes, please email the config file that you tried to upload into the AX23 to support.forum@tp-link.com, then we may help confirm.

@samkaradze  Please follow this configuration guide to review all the settings on the A7 and ensure all are correct:

If still fails, please check which one is the case and try the suggestions accordingly:

Hello,

 

I can't connect to various VPN services via the VPN client option.

Router: AX11000 V1, firmware 1.3.2 Build 20221128 rel.45807(4555)

 

After some investigation I found that all the provided options, OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP, do not work for the tested free VPN providers on the Android App or are not supported. The last 2 due to security vulnerabilities I can read  in their support messages.

WireGuard and IKEv2 are available from the VPN providers but are not provided by the router.

 

Kindly requesting to add support for the more popular, more safe protocols.

 

Thank you for your consideration :)

Thank you very much for sharing your opinions with the community.
