VPN Service Help
Was wondering if anyone can help! My vpn service is not work at all! No matter which port I try udp or tcp! Open vpn can't seems too connect at all! I worked when I first got the orbi but now it's not...
ummm... you'll have to narrow down a bit. Is it working without a VPN? If not, try doing all of the following to narrow down to your pain point.
1. Try conencting your VPN to other devices, smartphones, tablets, other laptops/macbook
2. try using a different vpn like Ivacy, HSS, pure or any other you could find
3. Have you tried changing the numbers?
4. Double-check if all of your hardware is perfectly functional
you can go to router's settings by:
1. opening the browser on your device
2. entering the router's IP, refer to your device or vendor for this
3. enter credentials and browse through the settings (usually somewhere in UDP/ADP port)
ok so my TUN port keeps staying blocked but my TAP port is opened, how do i fixed this? no matter what i change my port number too same result, TAP stays open and TUN stays closed, find that a bit odd to be honest
ok after messing around with settings over and over again! i finally figured out the issue! FOR SOME STRANGE REASON (netgear hardware 101 *sigh*) when i put any device in DMZ!! it locks up my TUN ports!! and will not open it for VPN!!! TAP remain opened!! after disabling DMZ it OPENED up all ports as it should! i know i wasnt crazy and never ran into this problem on my asus router! find that a bit odd that DMZ affects ports of other service -.- but anyways hope this help anyone if they were to run into my problem in the future!! now i gotta figure out how to open the ports to my camera DVR >.> thanks netgear! ugh!
port seems to only stay open for a few moments ONLY after i click apply under VPN service and then closes back after a few moments after :smileylol:
