Netgear Orbi AX6000 - Open VPN Not Connecting While on Wifi
I have enabled DDNS and OpenVPN on my Netgear Orbi AX6000 and am able to use the Open VPN Android app to connect while on my mobile network. However, as soon as I connect to the WiFi, the app can no longer connect. Has anyone been able to get it to work?
I've modified my .ovpn configuration file to include all the certificates but have otherwise left the default configuration. It looks like this:
client dev tun proto udp sndbuf 393216 rcvbuf 393216 push "sndbuf 393216" push "rcvbuf 393216" remote example.mynetgear.com 12973 resolv-retry infinite nobind persist-key persist-tun cipher AES-128-CBC comp-lzo yes verb 0 <ca> -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... -----END CERTIFICATE----- </ca> <cert> -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... -----END CERTIFICATE----- </cert> <key> -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- ... -----END PRIVATE KEY----- </key>
Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX (WiFi 6) products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
