XR500 VPN Service not working in ANDROID
Hi, I'm writing here after various try and I didn't get to make the VPN service work on Android. I followed the guides but OPEN VPN doesn't connect to my local network. I have static IP , but I ...
I'd suggest removing the PS5 from the DMZ, that could be causing an issue here as the XR will be trying to forward all traffic to the PS5.
Let us know how you get on with testing.
OMG !
I deactivate the DMZ and everything is working now !
But... that's a problem for me because I need to have my PS5 in DMZ as I got 2x PS5 at home (mine and my sons') and some games (as Destiny) needs a ps5 under dmz to play together with both ps5 from the same network (tested).
I'm confused.
I think NOT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE DMZ ACTIVE WHILE USING VPN SERVICE is a technical lack ! I don't think it's normal.
Do you agree ? How it's possible ? What about redirecting traffic to DMZ while setting a VPN for remote access...how on thing affect the other ?!
It would be better, regardless of whether the VPN works or not, to use UPnP or port forwarding to ensure both PS5s don't have any NAT issues when playing. DMZ is a bit of a hacky workaround that can cause other issues, such as the one you're experiencing with your VPN.
Could you let us know a little more information on your exact physical setup? What's the exact make and model of the modem that the XR is connected to?
Could you try going to Settings -> WAN Setup on the XR and set NAT filtering to Open. See if the Playstations are able to play together nicely after that.
