Dear support,

I’m struggling to make RUT241 connect to the existing VPN server. Firmware 7.10.4

This is the modem log

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

Here are a few things to check and consider:

  1. Verify the Server’s Address and Port:
    Ensure the server’s address and port in the client configuration are correct and match the server’s settings.
  2. Check for Firewall or Network Restrictions:
    Confirm there are no firewalls or network rules blocking UDP traffic on the specified port.
  3. Match TLS Options Between Server and Client:
  • Verify that the server configuration matches the client’s TLS options.
  • Use only one of the two options: tls-auth or tls-crypt.
  • If the server uses tls-crypt, remove tls-auth from the client configuration (or vice versa).

Additionally, if possible, could you check the logs on the server side? These may provide more insights into the issue.

Best Regards,
