Best, NETGEAR TeamMR7500 M7 Blocking VPN clients with MacOS Tahoe 26
Hi, I run a MacBookPro M2 through a MR7500 Nighthawk M7 (on the Telstra network). I use OpenVPN client software to connect to a remote business network, and it has been running fine for years. However after recently upgrading to MacOS Tahoe 26 on my laptop, iPad and iPhone, my M7 is blocking my Open VPN connections. If I run my iPad, iPhone or Macbook Pro directly through a seperate 5G hotspot everything runs as expected. If I run my iPad, iPhone and MackBook Pro through my MR7500 Nighthawk M7 via a Wi-Fi or wired connection, OpenVPN will connect but I cannot access the business network. I have found I need to run OpenVPN through ProtonVPN (tunnel in a tunnel) to access the business network, which effectively hides OpenVPN from the M7. I reset the M7 back to factory default, but still have the issue. I have uninstalled and reinstalled VPN software multiple times. I have the same problem with the Tunnelblick VPN client, so it is not just OpenVPN. Looks like Apple may have removed some legacy IPsec protocols in Tahoe OS which is tripping up the M7. Does anyone have any suggestions?
