VPN connection issues
2021-07-30 12:19:35
Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.5.3 Build 20210203

I am suddenly having issues connecting to my VPN.  Wasn't an issue until a few days ago.  I can connect to the VPN through my phone's hotspot or through other networks -  just not through my home network.  Any ideas?  I have rebooted the modem and Deco's a few times but that has not helped.  


Any assistance would be appreciated.  Please note that my IT understanding and knowledge is at about a 3rd grade level.  Please dumb down any assistance :)

Hi, would there be any error message when the client failed to connect to the VPN server?—if yes, can I have a screenshot?

Have you ever set up any parental control profiles for the VPN client?

Please also turn off the firewall and antivirus temporarily for a test.

Since the issue just started recently, are there any new devices joining the home network, or any changes have been made?

Thank you.

Below is the screen shot of the error message.  I don't have any parental controls on.  I am not aware of any new devices that have joined the network.  Are they any know issues with any devlcies?  We have a little bit of everything connected (Apple products, Samsung products, X-boxes, etc).  I have spoken to our internet provider. I was told that since I can connect to the VPN when hardwired from the modem to my comptuter, the issue is not with them.  I spoke to my IT employee (who is more a coder then IT help) and was told that since I can connect to the VPN from other networks, he thought the issues was with my network / router.  Thank you for your assistance!
