Netgear,
That is not answering the questions. It has been stated that a "Final Fix" will be implement. No where has it been communicted that this "Final Fix" is complete. Yes, you are sending updates that the VPNs are up. But they are still not 100%, as can be shown by users logging on here.
The idea that "Opening a ticket" if there is an issue is a "fix" is not. A ticket should be opened because of problems at OUR end, not at your end.
Is there a "Final Fix"? And when will it be implemented?
