Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.0.2 Build 20220727 Rel.51535

Is there an issue with the OpenVPN server implentation on this unit?

 

-It forces you to use minimum of 6 IPs in the pool.

-It uses the highest IP (192.168.5.22) every time for the 1st client connected (I assumed it would start with 16.. is this normal?); also I cannot reserve any of the IPs in that particular range to any client in any way, is this not possible?

-I cannot connect with any other device, it allows just 1 client connenction, the 1st one connects, if I try to connect with another I get a "user authentication failed". If I disconnect the 1st client, and try again on the 2nd client, it connects without issue. It's my understanding that if you are allowing a 6 IP range then I should be able to connect 6 clients, but only 1 can connect.

 

 

I am running this beta fw because of the stealth port issue and have not seen a new release for firmware, in particular one with WireGuard (which supposedly is coming?).

 

Please advise ASAP for the fix here.

TY

This is normal, VPNs use several IPs by default to act as virtual IPs when setting up a Tunnel.

Also, as far as I know, VPN-based address reservation is not currently supported.

Just striving to develop myself while helping others.

I can live with those things, but the fact that only a single client can connect and then the rest can't connect is a huge problem. I read somewhere that these run a 7 year old version of openwrt on them...

I have the same problem. I cannot use more than 1 connection. The specifications say 20 VPN tunnels are supported and that is why I choose the box. What I also miss is username and password authentication for OpenVPN

When will TP-:Link address this problem? How does one submit a support ticket to get this resolved??
