Archer C7 - no connection with openVPN
Hi,
I am from Austria and use my Archer C7 in German, but will try to explain everything in English.
I use a ZTE MC801A Modem Router from Magenta (T-Mobile) in Bridge Mode. The APN is set to business, hence I enjoy a dynamic public IP. My WAN IP of the Archer C7 is the same as whatismyip.
Further more I set up a dyndns via no-ip and activated it in my Archer C7 which is working correctly, as far as I can tell.
In the web gui from my Archer C7 I activated the openVPN Server, set it to UDP, left the serviceport and subnet standard and also "only home network" for client access.
I generated a certificate (meanwhile a second and third time) and downloaded the certificate.
Next I uploaded the certificate into the current version of openVPN client for windows (version 3.4.4). Well, they do not connect. I also tried it with the latest openVPN app under Android 14, which is not working, too.
In the Archer C7 menu, under the point "vpn connections" there is logically no entry due to the failed connection with my pc or my android smartphone.
I also tried to add "remote --mypublicip-- --port--" after the dyndns but that did not help.
My goal is to connect my QNAP NAS with my smartphone via openVPN.
I will upload the content of my *.ovpn (without certificate and key) and the log file from my windows openVPN client later.
If you need screenshots from specific menus of the Archer C7 please let me know.
Help would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards
Sigfrid
