RBR850 OpenVPN After Factory Reset
I've had my setup of an RBR850 & 2 RBS750 satellites for a few years now. Have mostly worked great. I also have OpenVPN using DDNS working just fine so I could occasionally connect from my iPhone to ...
Thanks for your participation in this thread. So, I did some review this morning and finally got it to work.
I ended up turning off UPNP (since I have a couple of port forwards set) and, turned off DMZ for a particular IP address.And poof - it started working. Surprising to me, because neither of the VPN UDP ports were included in any of the above - unless the DMZ caused the conflict?
I'm pretty sure I turned UPNP off and tested it previously - but, maybe I didn't give it enough time. Who knows. Happy its working now though and I'm making notes & a backup for future reference.
Yep. I've tried it on multiple iOS devices (my new iPhone and an iPad) and get the same result. I'm perplexed as it seems like its not even hitting the VPN from the client side.
I did confirm w/my ISP that the ONT for the fiber connectivity is in bridge mode & wide open - nothing blocking it.
I've tried all sorts of variations of the .ovpn file - and none of them have yielded a successful connection yet.
I may give a window client a try at some point using a wireless hotspot for internet and see if that gives the same result or not.
