OpenVPN only works by disabling NAT (or using TCP)
Hello,
I'm setting up OpenVPN on my Archer AXE75 router, but I'm facing some issues.
The connection only works if I either:
-
Use TCP instead of UDP in the OpenVPN server configuration,
-
OR
-
Disable NAT entirely in the Network -> Internet settings (UDP OpenVPN works in this case, but it causes my local devices to lose internet connectivity).
Since I can connect to the VPN from my mobile 4G connection when using TCP (or by disabling NAT), I've narrowed the problem down to the combination of NAT and UDP.
I've tried port triggering in the NAT settings, but it didn't work.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
