DoS attack from employer VPN
I have a C3700 with the most recent FW V2.02.22. When I initiate a VPN connection from my work laptop, CAT5e not wireless, I can establish a connection for a couple of minutes and then my entire home...
I got the VPN to work finally. Not sure if it is due to this being an older piece of hardware or not but the answer was to disable DoS protection. Something about how this device behaves with the VPN connection acknowledgement from my employer's server and the DoS protection logic just wasn't working. Maybe looking at a future cable modem replacement or adding a dedicated router behind it and letting it just be a cable modem.Bottom line is that I have a working connection. Thanks.
Anything is possible. The modem if of a older era so possible the modem doesnt' know how to handle VPN ACK and REQs...
Try a reset and setup from scratch and see.
