Mar 18, 2020You're clearly one of those idiots from the phone tech support. You clearly didn't read the message. Also, I posted that message yesterday afternoon, not today. Your "VPN" service goes down frequently, randomly without any notice to the usersother than them having to go to status.netgear.com/insight and even THAT takes you guys forever to update. NOW you tell me to change settings in my router to other IPs, since clearly you're unable to fix the issues you're having. Then you tell me to call tech support?! I'll hand it to you, you have balls. Your tech support is crap, a joke, useless, incompetent. Are there other words I need to convince you that this is crap? You guys trung me along until me "Complimentary" tech support of 90 days was over. Last time I called in I was asked for a credit card befre speaking to a tech. You are not sorry "for the inconvenience" - you don't care! It doesn't affect you guys at all. Useless morons.

For me the site to site connection works again. Unfortunately the Windows client is not working anymore. In the web portal I see my one group. As it should be. In the Windows Clients are two groups. The one real and one ghost talk. Can't delete it because it doesn't appear in the iOS app and the web portal. Unfortunately the support does not answer.
