What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.- All of this was done. Router is Netgear Nighthawk XR500. I have no idea what brand and model is this other one. Is one from broadband provider. But I dont think so it have anything to do with vpn build in xr500. That all was working fine. One day just stop and thats it. I’m trying get to vpn customer service but they not responding.
Possible this is a VPN issue. It's the weekend so they may not respond.

- Firmware 2.3.2.134
- The servers on file are out of date, you'll need to get the OpenVPN config files from HMA and then use it with the Advanced Setup instead of Basic Setup for the moment, then it will work.
