MR7500 M7 Blocking VPN clients with MacOS Tahoe 26
Hi, I run a MacBookPro M2 through a MR7500 Nighthawk M7 (on the Telstra network). I use OpenVPN client software to connect to a remote business network, and it has been running fine for years...
If its an issue on all your devices after an upgrade, I'd check with apple. They might have changed something with how their VPN's operate. I don't have a MAC (sorry, not sorry) so I can't test it with you.
Could be something with apple relay or random mac/ip causing issues.
Hi plemans,
Thanks for the reply.
My understanding is all this is caused by Apple removing some legacy IPsec protocols in Tahoe OS.... Kind of frustrating as my M7 is only 4 months old (and 1 month out of Netgear Warranty).
I do not like the chances of Apple reinstating them.
By putting OpenVPN VPN Protocol = TCP, my MacBookPro and iPhone can connect to my business network without a tunnel-in-tunnel configuration, but my iPad is not able to connect to my business network through the M7 (it can connect if using another 5G hotspot).. there must be something the M7 just does not like.
Regards
Carl
