Firmware Version: 1.0.3 Build 20230314 Rel.21018

Hey all (it's my first post!),

 

I'm having trouble with my new ER7212PC, I can't seem to open the ports needed to use openVPN, and other services.

A bit of background, i'm using my ISP Router in bridge mode. When acessing my IP externally i can only see port 80 open.

 

Any ideas, am I missing something?

Already rebooted all devices, and got the latest non beta updates and firmware.

I really need to get my vpn working asap, believe it's just a port issue.

 

thanks!

start by deleting your port forwards, it's not something you need when you create a vpn, it most likely creates problems for you.

Hi @Vakiani 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Like what @MR.S you don't have to port forward like this. This is not helping at all.

Please verify your WAN IP address on the router and make sure it is a public IPv4 address. If it is not, then it could be a problem with the bridge mode not being properly set.

OVPN can use a different port, you can set up a different one from the default 1194 and give it another try.
