XR1000 VPN NOT WORKING !!!!!!
I have been trying to get the VPN to work on the XR1000 withouth success. OpenVPN on my iphone says "SERVER POLL TIMEOUT". This is unacceptable for a $350 router. The DumaOS is sluggish at best. Geo...

I appreciate the response. The VPN I need to be able to access devices from my home network while not home. The PS5 issue is that I have my friend in the ALLOW list and for some reason sometimes it does not allow the voice connection unless I disable the GEOFILTER. We both bought the XR1000 because we thought the DumaOS 3 will work better but we have been dissapointed :((. It just looks like DumaOS is a rushed and unfinished software, not ready for prime time :((.Even after reseting the router twice and starting from scratch when I login and change through the menus I randomly get "the app was not able to load please try again". The GUI does not respond well at all and it is frustrating for a product this expensive. I don't want to be mean but I want you guys to realize that you need to do better than this please!!!

Sorry to hear that!
When you join a party with your friend, I'd advise ensuring you're zoomed all the way out on the Geo-filter map as sometimes a server will pop-up as well that you will also need to manually allow. You can also trying leaving Geo-filter disabled until you're friends in your party, then re-enable it once you're talking. Could you also please try going to System informaiton -> Installed Rapps -> click the three line menu and change the number of retries to 5? See if that helps the issue with Rapps not loading.
- RichardROMar 08, 2021AspirantThank you for the reply. As far as geofilter that's what I do but what is the idea behind the ALLOW FUNCTION if I have to disable the filter every single time???
I will try the try 5 times setting.- Netduma-LiamMar 09, 2021NetDuma Partner
The allow function means you can manually allow a specific server even if it's outside of your radius/polygon. Double check that no other servers are popping up as being blocked when you join a party chat with your friends, if they do, you will need to manually allow these.
