I'm having a hard time getting the OpenVPN logs. This is the only thing that I'm getting in server.log:

nothing relating to handshake. Where are you getting the logs from?

  @laurentiu907 , from standalone - System Tools - System Log.  Or, syslog server will show the same information if configured.

Yeah unfortunately mine is linked to a cloud controller - no standalone access and the stuff that comes out from the controller is scarce in details.

It's now stable for about 5 hours. :))))

DST is set and updating just fine.

This is a beta firmware—feel free to test it. This is a beta firmware that fixes the issue on ER605 V2 running 2.2.6, where OpenVPN sometimes fails to connect. A manual toggle of the VPN server/client on the ER605 is currently required to restore connectivity. Please note: this beta build is based on the official 2.3.0 release. Devices running firmware 2.2.6 or earlier will be unable to roll back after upgrading.

  @laurentiu907 I have a V2.0 version with the latest firmware, 2.3.0 Build 20250428 Rel.18967. I think i have updated already because of this problem... 

I could change the port but i will have some work to access the remote workers and change the configuration file on each one. And it seems that it would be a temporary fix...

This is how the uptime looks like (without this beta firmware which I'm afraid to try in production) from what I've read above.

  @YuriyB Are you saying you cannot set the WAN and IP pool or that the beta firmware wiped out those settings?  You'll probably have to re-set that and then if the handshake still does not work, re-export the certificate and update the OpenVPN client with it.  Please let me know how that goes so I know what to do when I try this ;)  

 

 

Also, why TCP instead of UDP on your config?

1. after update and first restart for a few minutes process "openssl dhparam -out" take high cpu usage so i think this beta rebuild ovpn certificate??

2.  yes, after update firmware wiped out that setting.

3. new ovpn server and export new certificate it began to work.

 

and rolled back to official 2.3.0 Build 20250428 Rel.18967 because didnt find any changes.

 

habit to use tcp on ovpn and udp on wireguard :)))

Both controllers are now solid for 13 hours each - so this is not confirmed as a fix.

I'm assuming that all others affected are good at least for 13 hours (without user intervention).

 

Right?
