R9000 block ssl-vpn connection ( port 443)

Hi All,

i have issue with connecting to SSL VPN on port 443,

i have R9000 router,

i use firmware v1.0.1.36

When i tryed to connect to my work with Cisco Anyconnect that use port 443 i get denied.

When i check in logs i recognize theat Router thinking that this IP is Dos Attack: RST Scan

 

[DoS Attack: RST Scan] from source: XX.XXX.XX.XXX, port 443, Sunday, May 28, 2017 09:20:18
[DoS Attack: RST Scan] from source: XX.XXX.XX.XXX, port 443, Sunday, May 28, 2017 09:18:04

 

Of course the XX.XXX.XX.XXX is public ip that i'm trying to connect.

Without netgear router evrything work as expected.

 

Thanks,

Ruslan.

    What is the ISP Modem and model? 

     

    Set up any Port Fowarding rules set up on the router? 

     

    Might disable any wan side protection features and test.

      Hi,

      thanks for reply.

      ISP Modem is D-link ( bridge mode)

      no Port Fowrading rules exist on the router.

      R9000 don't have any option to disable protetion.

      i think the algorith that R9000 use to recognize DDOS is incorrect.

        i think if i will restart the router  everything wil work correctly...but i don't belive is such solutions.:)

        few weeks ago everything worked correctly.

         

        If need more info update me.

         

         

        Thanks.

    Are you using a VPN service or VPN application? Might contact either Mfr of these service for additional help and info. Seems this maybe a VPN service/app issue possibly.

      Thanks for trying to help,

      Ruslan.
