Does anyone have problems with openvpn? It suddenly stop working!
I’m using RBK853, and updated firmware to 7.2.6.21_5.0.20 a few days ago.
I’ve been using vpn service without any problem for about two years.
I even used it flawlessly a couple of hours ago.
About 30 minutes ago, it suddenly stopped working after I didn’t do anything…
The error I found in the log file is “server poll timeout”, meaning, in my knowledge, my router is unreachable.
I rebooted router, still no luck.
I redownloaded the config file but didn’t work.
I checked my DDNS status and found no problem.
Does anyone has a same problem?
Something to contact OpenVPN about and see if there are any issues with there services.
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.

I don’t know whether my problem was just temporary or not, but after a couple of hours I tried your suggestion and it worked.
Now my VPN came back and hasn’t shown any issue since then.
I really appreciate that bro.Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
