Hey all, hope you can help here.

I'm not precisely sure when this started happening, since our country has been in COVID lockdown for a little while. But as of about 2 weeks ago, I tried to access my home network via PPTP VPN like I would normally do, but it failed to connect. I then went through usual troubleshooting steps: checked Dynamic DNS, tried manually setting the  WAN IP, messed around with a bunch of settings, and even tried factory resetting - but no luck. I figured it might be the firmware update I had grabbed about a month ago, and after checking the patch notes it looked like they made changes to PPTP, but downgrading firmware also had no effect. I also tried switching to and using OpenVPN, but still no go.

I've also been noticing random issues with connecting via game console matches over the internet. I get booted out of matches where I didn't before, and had to put the console in the DMZ, where it was fine earlier with port forwarding. I'm also having some issues with peer to peer connections on other applications. This may all be unrelated though.

Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated, as I need my VPN network outside of my home.


Thanks.
