Open VPN not working

2023-09-01 08:34:05

Tags: #VPN

Model: Archer MR200

Hardware Version: V6

Firmware Version: 1.0.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 230311 Rel.53004n

I have set up an OpenVPN connection to my router, but I am not able to connect to it. I get a connection timeout every time.

As far as I can see I have set everything up as described in the tutorials found online. I have also tried several trouble shootings like swithching off firewall, set up DDNS and more, but so far no luck.

I can see that after a reboot, the router is logging in to DDNS and updates the public IP, so that part is working.

@TrHo

Hi, please check Internet IPv4 address on Advanced->Status->Internet part of your MR200 web interface to see if it is a public IP address or not.

If not, it means you are behind a CGNAT, you will need to contact your ISP to see if they could assign you a public IP address to use the VPN Server function.

@Sunshine Yes, I have checked that the IPV4-address is the public one. I'm sorry I forgot to mention that in the original post.
