Hi! I tried the beta FW and am able to upload both wg and ovpn files now, the wg never connects though and the ovpn while connected does not actually route anything through the vpn

Hi, 
The information in your previous reply is unclear. Please confirm whether the information below about your case is correct. If not, please describe the phenomenon you are experiencing in detail.
--After your Archer MR600 V3.0 upgrade to the firmware v1.3.0 0.9.1 Build 260522 Rel.39772 in this thread, you can upload the .ovpn file to the router when configuring the WireGuard and OpenVPN client. However, the WireGuard VPN never connects; the OpenVPN connection is established, but the VPN does not work.
 

If so, please provide the following information for further analysis.
  1. Please send us a screenshot of the router's web UI > Advanced > Status page.
  2. Please send us a screenshot of the router's web UI > Advanced > System Tools > Firmware Upgrade page.
  3. When you try to connect the VPN server directly on your PC rather than on the router, can you connect successfully with the same .ovpn file?

 

Best Regards

Yes exactly, the .ovpn works on my computer and correctly routes the traffic through the VPN, when I upload it to the router how ever, it says it is connected but no traffic is routed through it and my public IP stays the same when checking

Hi,

I'm embarrassed to admit that I added the wrong device while trying!

Both .ovpn and .conf works now with the beta fw, thank you for your help!

Hi, I own a TL-MR6500v V3, which has the same issue: the VPN client won't connect despite following all the official TP-Link procedures. I'd like to know if there's an official beta version for this model that fixes the problem. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Let me explain better, I own two TP-Link routers: 

I have the MR600 I use at home and the MR6500v I use at work. For the MR600, I followed the instructions in this thread and was able to easily connect the VPN client using the beta firmware you recommended. The MR6500v suffers from the same problem: it can't connect despite following the official instructions.

The .ovpn file is from ProtonVPN, which when fed to the MR600 with beta firmware worked immediately, but with the official firmware it wouldn't connect. The MR6500v with the same file doesn't connect.
