R8000p VPN not routing internet traffic
I'm trying to use the R8000P's built-in OpenVPN server with an iPhone. I've configured the router to allow VPN clients to access "All sites on the Internet & Home Network," but when connecting to th...
Just a heads up my VPN issue has been resolved by Technical Support.
My issue was that using an iPhone 6s with iOS 10.3.3(14G60) and OpenVpn client on the IOS device wasnt able to access private or public internet, it was only able to access the router login page, and nothing else anywhere (public or private).
I'm not technical enough to know the why's or how's about this issue, but tech support did provide me with a resolution for the R8000P that works when using Open VPN iOS client 1.2.6
While I cant share the resolution due to an NDA, know that there is a fix and all I can say is that hopefully it will be publically released as I am not the only person with this issue. Also know that Open VPN v1.2.5 and v1.2.6 for IOS devices has been a VERY buggy product release in and of itself, which has nothing to do with Netgear at all. I wasnt even sure that the issue was with the router until they provided me the resolution to my issue - for all I know it very well could have been the iOS OpenVPN client software.
Anyone???? With the same issue??
Is this forum totally dead or just inactive during hollidays?
- i managed to get working on windows and linux.
with ios and mac os problema persists.
can you get to work on these os first?
remember you can only have one dhcp and even connecting from another network ip must be different. 192.168.x.y x6s and your remote location (cell tether as example) must be 192.168.y.x
once you confirm on windows or linux i will help with android. ios does not work and i opened one thread for r8000p but no answer from netgwar.I've got a ticket open with Netgear support on this very same issue. IOS device is unable to use internet when connected to vpn, only access local network. I'm still waiting on a fix from support and the issue has been escalated to higher level support but not resolved yet.
- can u share link to ticket or is it private to u?
