Surfshark VPN stopped working with update

Hello!

 

Unfortunately, I had auto-update enabled on my router, and today the 1.1.1 version was installed on it.

 

My surfshark VPN was working just fine, and now it can't process any traffic no matter if it comes from the wired interface or wireless. I have an Apple TV that is connected through ethernet, and an Android TV via the wireless network, and both lose connectivity when I turn on the VPN. As soon as I turn off the VPN, they recover internet access, but of course with a local IP address.

 

Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated. This was working well until the update today.

 

Thank you in advance!

    What device do you have?  Did you check with surfshark since they're your vpn provider and they'll have specific settings?
