Fvx538
I have a FVX538 which was shelved for many years because we had a new FW from the provider. However we switched providers and I had to pull it off the shelf to use. I updated the firmware successfully...

I turned off my Windows FW on the client but that didn't work. Do I need to open a port on the FW? I didn't think I needed to, but the strange thing is that my client isn't connecting to the FW at all. I'm not seeing any attempt on the logs

Is the LAN network configured on your FVX538 different from the the LAN network of the PC where the VPN Client software is installed?
It is recommended that the LAN network on the FVX538 should be different (for example: the FVX538 LAN has a network address of 192.168.1.0) from the PC where the VPN Client software is installed (for example: the PC has an IP address of 172.16.0.2). And of course, the PC should be outside the network of your FVX538.
