Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.1.2

I'm trying to connect to a corporate VPN from my laptop which sits in a network managed by an ER605.

 

Unfortunately, it seems that the ER605 is somehome blocking VPN passthrough?  If so, how can I disable this?

Hi @snowch 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

First question, is this your router? Are you the admin?

Second, ER605 does not block client connection requests from the LAN Unless the admin sets the ACL rule to explicitly block the VPN. Or your VPN config is wrong. Anyway the router does not block by default state.

Third, if you want to bypass this, use the WireGuard. Or intranet like Tailscale. There is no way we can help if the admin sets a rule to block it. You should follow the networking policy in your company.
