I have been using the tether app for VPN clients.

 

I went to use the VPN to isolate a device to use on the VPN

 

However, there was no client list. It looked like there were no clients configured.

 

Ok, so I thought I would redo the set up, naming the new client the same as my old client. However, I get an error "Description already exists".

 

Seems like it knows there is a VPN client set up, it just isn't displaying it.

 

Has anyone else seen this happen? If so, how was it fixed?

Hi,

 

How much time did you wait?

 

I have noticed myself that it can take the Tether app quite a long time to synchronize certain items via the cloud.

Maybe it also helps to enter and leave the "Client List    >" menu a few times. (i.e. tap > and < back and forth)

5 -10 minutes.

 

The strange thing is, it is not as if the VPN client list is always loading a blank screen.

 

It loads up the initial set up screen with the big enable button......

 

If I try to enable it again and log into my VPN provider, it says I already have a description that matches, and doesn't complete set up.

 

If I choose a different description, it fails.

 

VPN is Nord by the way. 

 

I wonder if it is a Nord - Tether issue?

The big "enable" button is for all VPN servers that have been added (you can add several VPNs), so it shouldn't be specific to NordVPN.

 

If the "enable" button shows as disabled, when you are sure the VPN Client is actually enabled, then this means Tether hasn't synchronized its settings yet. Are you trying to access your router from somewhere far away?

 

Anyway, the Client List on the screen with the big "enable" button can take ages to populate. I recommend you tap the > to the right of "Client List" as that sub menu somehow synchronizes much quicker for me.
