Orbi VPN Service Goes Offline Overnight
Having an odd issue with VPN on Orbi.
I use TCP ports - no UDP.
I can set up and enable VPN, and it works fine. I use it to stream files during lunch at work. If I try to connect again the next day, VPN never connects. I can't telnet to the VPN port at my WAN address either when it dies. If I disable and re-enable the VPN service on the Orbi, it will start working again. This happens every day. Any clues as to WHY? Thank goodness I have Teamviewer to get to a home computer to reset Orbi's VPN service or I would be SOL.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

Re: Orbi VPN Service Goes Offline Overnight
I'm getting a similar problem to you and have logged a case with Netgear. It sounds like a bug to me.
If I reboot my Orbi, the VPN connects again. I suppose disabling and enabling your VPN accomplishes the same thing as my reboot...
Hopefully the Netgear gurus will release a fix for it soon.
But if you find anythng useful, keep posting 🙂

Re: Orbi VPN Service Goes Offline Overnight
Thanks for the reply. After not using it for two days, I was able to get in without restarting today. I guess it's hit-and-miss. I'm contemplating putting a timer on the Orbi to restart it nightly to avoid needing the recycle the VPN service when it happens. Thoughts?
