Add VPN TUN option to the R7500 VPN options
Please could you consider adding the TUN profile in the OpenVPN server software already installed on the R7500 router to enable access from iOS and Android devices. This is a very practical and reasonable ask for a modern day piece of technology. Or, create a VPN app for Android and IOS that works with the existing VPN implementation on Netgear routers. Thanks, SasanFVS318N - IPsec - Android. Tunnel establishes but drops within seconds.
I'm having a rather frustrating issue with connecting to the FVS318N via the Android built-in VPN client. I have verified all the settings are correct on both ends and the tunnel comes up just fine everytime. However, it drops within a matter of 10-20 seconds. I have the same issue when the phone is connected to 3G/4G or WiFi. I have used the Netgear Client as well as Shrewdsoft on Windows machines and they both work ok, after tinkering with the settings/policies. But everything I've tried so far hasn't worked for Android. Have tried a phone and a tablet, just to be sure. Would appreciate any help. Thanks. Details: FVS318N on FW 4.3.3-6 Phone and tablet on Android 5.0.1 LAN Subnet on FVS318N and VPN clients subnet are different (192.168.2.0 and 192.168.4.0) Mode config and non Mod Config both tried, same result. Other settings are just standard, as per VPN Wizard defaults.Parental controls for individual devices only works on IOS
Parental controls are working when set as a default policy and I am able to change the policies to recieve different results. I would like to set my default policy as restrictive and manage specific devices for less restrictive policies. I can seem to be able to control IOS devices specifically. I cannot control Windows 10 or Android devices. It doesn't matter if they are configured for DHCP or static addresses. I have tried from multiple devices and have had no luck. It seems like both Windows 10 and later versions of Andriod will not accept policy based filtering. Is this a known bug or is there a KB article on how to fix this? I also cannot log into my openDNS account from the netgear genie app through parental controls but it works fine on IOS and PC. I have tried resetting the router, disabling parental controls, access control, etc., etc.. Any help is much appreciated. -Chris
