IP passthrough disables data

When I enable ip passthrough on my mr1100, the screen displays "0 devices connected", even though it is connected to my PC via Ethernet, and it no longer transmits data through Ethernet. I can only access the admin page, but after a few minutes I can't even do that, and I have to perform a device reset. Any solutions? I need the IP passthrough to work in order to bypass cgnat.

    I don't understand, are you saying I should or should not enable the VPN passthrough for the IP passthrough to work?

      I'd ignore that message. It is linkspam and probably a bit of meaningless text copied from somewhere.

        How is the device being powered?   Is USB connected to a power brick or is it connected to a different power source (i.e. PC).  USB data path will take priority over teh Ethernet.  Just want to make sure you problem is not caused by the USB source supporting charge and data paths as this creates the problem you described.
