ER605 VPN server issues on 1.2.1 and 1.2.1 Beta
Im having issues with 1.2.1 stable and the end-of-july Beta on my ER605 v1.6 regarding VPN server functionality
I get very intermittent and flaky VPN connectivity to the ER605 from remote devices over both L2TP and PPTP, sometimes they refuse to even see the server is running, and system logs on the ER605 seem to indicate no connection attempts were received. Other times they will connect but there is no traffic over the VPN. I am using the built in VPN functionality of the ER605, without any DMZ or port redirects active on the router or network.
Flashing back to 1.2.0 stable from January resolves this immediately with no changes whatsoever on the remote devices, but i lose the DHCP and Stealth fixes.
Note - this did not happen on the very first 1.1.1 beta that had the stealth fix
My ER605 is connected directly to my cable modem and is the only routing device on my network. I can easily replicate and resolve this issue without changing any setting by flashing between 1.2.0 and 1.2.1/Beta on the ER605. I do not need to change any settings on the remote devices to see this behavior change between the firmware versions on my ER605
