Hi all,

   

Would appreciate some guidance or suggestions with the OpenVPN setup.  Been search for a while and wasn't coming up with anything.  I previously had this working successfully on my netgear router and would like to get it setup again so I can remotely access the security cameras etc.    I think I'm getting stuck up with the subnet addresses.  

 

 

I have a network as follows:

 

1. Internet --> 2. ATT Fiber Modem/Router  --> 3. Deco with 3 nodes.  --> 4.  Switch --> 5. Connected to all devices.

 

 

When setting up the deco I select the following OpenVPN config:

 

Service Type:  UDP

VPN Port:  Port open on 2. ATT fiber modem (same one that was configured in prior router).  I.e. Sample port:  12345 (not actual just for illustrative purposes)

 

VPN Subnet: <what address needs to be used here> :  address from 2.  ATT Modem (192.168.x.x) or External IP? (104.62.xxx.xxx) or DECO router IP, or other range that isn't being used i.e. 192.168.255.255?  Have tried all 4 to no avail.  Or is it a seperate range that isn't used by the modem or Deco?  

 

Netmask: standard 255.255.255.0

Client Access:  Home Network Only

 

I have also enabled the DDNS service from TPLink and NOIP (previously used it successfully).

 

Errors:

*.  Connection failed to establish within given time

*.  Server Poll timout 

 

 

Went through the guides at:  How to set up The VPN Server/VPN Client Feature on a Deco Mesh Wi-Fi Router | TP-Link

 

Any suggestions welcome.  Thanks.
