train_wreck: do you happen to have one of the routers handy, available for testing, running the same firmware level - in addition of some time to waste?
if yes, can you please try to add the CA certificate from my first post in the VPN/certificate/CA certificate ? Mainly to see if that shuts the session in your face.
Thanks anyway for your time!

Fund out that adding certificates ONLY works if connected with "admin" user.
Connected with another user (type=Administrator, obviously) and get the above error.
I prefer disabling "admin" user logins and use other administrator users with names not unveiling their purpose ("admin" user name can't be changed)
I hope netgears reads and fixes this, it's a a shame.
Thanks train_wreck for breaking a bit the silence in my thread :)

The firewall is registered but displays lifetime hardware guarantee only, no chat/phone/other support.
Is there anybody from Netgear monitoring these threads ?!
