Since upgrading to the above version I've not been able to get any Open VPN client connections working for TCP and UDP. Any ideas?

Hello @djs88 ,

Welcome to our community.

 

Is it your first time setting up an OpenVPN client? If not, here are some steps that may help:
1. Reconfigure the VPN Client
   • Go to Advanced > VPN Client;
   • Delete the existing VPN Client profile if present;
   • Set up the OpenVPN Client again with your provider's configuration file (.ovpn), username, and password.
2. Review troubleshooting resources: Please review VPN Client on Wi-Fi Router Is Not Working
3. Test the configuration file: Make sure your .ovpn configuration file works properly by testing it on a computer first before importing it to the router.

  @Joseph-TP  This is happening on my Archer BE230.

 

OpenVPN client connection stopped working after firmware upgrade to 1.3.1

 

it was working fine prior to the firmware upgrade. I have setup VPN client connections on multiple routers. 

 

Not working on either TCP or UDP. 

[Archer Router OpenVPN Client] -> [Commercial VPN Server] 

 

Note that the ovpn file is good and working on other devices. Again, this issue came up after a firmware upgrade and prior to that it was working.

  @Joseph-TP  No not my first time, i've set up many OpenVPN client connections before. The config files i am using work fine when used with the OpenVPN client so points to an issue with the firmware.
