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.
Looks like firmware V1.3.0.10_1.2.2 was just released, and fixed the issue I was having. My phone can visit sites through the VPN connection now.
it did :) finally!
