Hi Merijn,
1. Have you tried forwarding port 1701? You can check the link below.

2. Have you tried setting DMZ for the NAS for isolation purposes? We also recommend doing address reservation for the NAS to have its IP consistent.
3. Have you tried other firmware versions?

Hi Dexter,
I added port 1701, but without any luck. I also found the manual for troubleshooting vpn passthrough, but unfortunately after following all tips on this page, the problem still exists.
I will try to setup vps passthrough with the older firmware, hopefully this will fix my issue. I'll let you know...
Hi Merijn,
I would like to follow up and check if you are still experiencing the issue.

Hi Dexter,
I just tested with an old firmware version, after which I had to forward the specific ports for vpn again and finally it worked! Probably there is some issue with port forwarding in the latest firmware version, but the firmware version with which vpn forwarding is working fine right now is version V1.0.1.6_1.0.4!
Many thanks for your help!Merijn
