Hello@myul ,

Welcome to our community.

 

Have you checked the OpenVPN settings? Maybe the OpenVPN settings have changed after the firmware update.

Or, could you hard reset the router and configure it again for comparison?

 

Best Regards.

  @Joseph-TP I've tried that but it didn't fix it.

  @myul After updating the software to the new version 1.5.1 Build 20250721 (the previously installed version was 1.4.3 Build 20250314), my OpenVPN client also stopped connecting to the server. The same OpenVPN configuration file works without any issues on a computer, but on the router, it keeps endlessly reconnecting. On the previous firmware version, the same OpenVPN client configuration file worked without any problems as well.
