Model: Festa FR205  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.2 Build 20240718 Rel.82712

Hello,

 

I have just purchased FESTA FR205 because specification supported OPENVPN. But, I did not found any Menu or documentation on OPENVPN. Did I miss something ?

 

Thanks for you help.

It's under the VPN tab in controller or standalone mode. If you don't find it, please paste a screenshot for illustration.

@pakal98 @Clive_A Hey, just bought this router and have the same problem. No shortage of advertising of VPN on the box and the router, but there is no settings for it at all. My controller settings tab looks exactly like yours with nothing for the VPN. I also can't seem to find any sort of port forwarding / firewall / NAT settings which is odd for a router. I couldn't find it on the factory 1.0 firmware, and it still isn't there after upgrading to 1.2. Checking the user manual, there is no mention of any of these. Ctrl+f for VPN shows one result for the title and nothing else.

 

Perhaps they hid it in the cloud interface but I don't really want to set that up. There's also this LAN -> Advanced Settings that seems to have some secret cheat codes you can enter that I can't find any documentation for. Router works good, but am really dissapointed of the lack of documentation and accessibility to their advertised features. Are we missing something or did we flip some setting wrong way?

  @pakal98 - you need to use the Cloud Based Controller to access the VPN settings.

 

The "on device" settings are minimal. It's the same for the FR365.

Festa is intended to be used with the Festa Cloud Controller.

The whole system is cloud-based, and the standalone web GUI would be very limited. Please make sure you adopt the product to the cloud-based controller for further configuration. 

 

If you are looking for a standalone supported system, Omada would be the option.
