VPN

Hi Guys

 

Having a real issue getting my nighthawk VPN to use my public static IP address when I connect to the VPN, has anyone managed to get this work properly? annoying how I cant do much confiuration for the VPN server on the nighthawk as well. I have set the option in tunnelblick to push all traffic through the VPN as well.

 

I am using Tunnelblick as suggested by Netgear and using MacOS sierra, ifocnifg output below

Re: VPN

Welcome to the community, @nikolaistapleto

 

What's the exact model number of your NETGEAR device?

Did you try to factory reset the NETGEAR and then reconfigure it from scratch?

Re: VPN

Hi

 

It is a Nighthawk D7000, I havent done a hard reset of the device. Can you guys conflirm that the Nighthawk D7000 is able to serve a VPN and can change the device I am connecting to my static public IP that I have with my ISP?

 

Cheers, Nikolai

Hello nikolaistapleto

 

You can use VPN on nighthawk as a client but not as a server.

Re: VPN

Hi Darren

 

That doesnt make sense at all, my macbook is the vpn client and the nighthawk is the vpn server, how else can the connection work otherwise?

 

I can connect to the VPN service running on the Nighthawk D7000 fine, it just doesnt change my IP address to my static IP I have assigned by my ISP. How do I get it to to that?
