X55 VPN Client Connecting

Model: Deco X55

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version: 1.2.0 Build 20231229 Rel. 43148

I have been trying to add a VPN Client CyberGhost to my new router X55. I've gone through all of the steps on TpLink and CyberGhost websites. I've added VPN type (Open VPN), username and password. I've added the open vpn configuration file. After all of this the VPN is constantly displaying "connecting" and will not actually connect. How can I solve it.

@AlexCol

Hi, welcome to the community.

Please refer to the following suggestions to see whether they helped:

1. Manually create the unified format for OpenVPN profile, such as:

2. Please change the WAN server to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4.

@AlexCol I have the same exact problem on a newly purchased X55 on firmware using OpenVPN Client, which is obviously broken and not being addressed. I should probably return to Amazon but as an IT Architect I'll give TP-LINK's Deco IT support a chance to correct it.

I am using VPN Unlimited's Router Configuration file, which loads and works instantly with the OpenVPN Android client. As I want to place the entire network behind the VPN, either a software update to the Deco client or router firmware itself to fix this vitally important feature.
