Deco X50: connect from app with OpenVPN
Deco X50: connect from app with OpenVPN
2023-02-08 16:53:30
Model: Deco X50  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.0

Hello. I upgraded the firmware of my Deco X50 with 1.2.0 and I configured OpenVPN Server. I manage to connect to my home network using OpenVPN on my notebook. When I try the connection on my Samsung to use the Deco APP as if I were in my home, the APP does not manage to connect and it remains blocked on the initial welcome image. This is the OpenVPN config file, excluding the certificates and masking my real DDNS name with xyz:

 

client
dev tun
proto udp
float
nobind
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo adaptive
resolv-retry infinite
remote-cert-tls server
persist-key
persist-tun
remote xyz.ddns.net 1194
verb 3
<ca>

 

The connection is succesful, it looks like a redirect issue in the app.

Hi, Thank you very much for the feedback.

Were you able to reproduce this issue most of the time?

Do you mean the APP got stuck on this page, right?

Later I would like to follow up on your case via email. Could you please send me a copy of the OpenVPN certificate?

Thanks a lot and Best regards.

Hi, Thank you very much for your time and patience.

Are you still having the same issue?

 

I have forwarded the VPN configuration file to the engineers and it seems fine.

Wait for your reply.

best regards.

Hi All,

 

I made the same situation. I have deco x50 and I made an upgrade software for new one 1.2 in my all decos x50.

I bought the NordVPN for 1 month for testing purpose...

I set the VPN Client in the app:

IP Server

Server DNS

User name

Password

with added OpenVPN-Config.ovpn

 

After seting this data I see that is "connected" information on VPN Client and Serwer VPN

 

Unfortunately for testing purpose I set one computer and after that this computer do not have access to the internet.

 

Could you consider in the new update something to implement to make it more simple?

 

I will apreciate that.

 

Karol

I applied today the firmware 1.2.2 build 20230301 Rel 53300 that upgraded the OpenVPN server and the issue is now fixed! I manage to connect to my Deco X50 master unit from everywhere using OpenVPN on my Samsung S20 and access the Deco app as if I were on local WiFi. This is possible for me because I have a public fixed IP.

I've got the same problem with my x50's.

I use Surfshark with open vpn.

 

After login and uploading the .ovpn file, the app shows connected, but the clients in the list can't connect with te internet.

FYI DNS server is blank.

Add

 

pull-filter ignore "redirect-gateway"

 

to your OpenVPN configuration.

 

It ignore any redirection of the internet  traffic to the VPN tunnel.
