Hello,
as title of the thread after installing the latest version (the one released on 12/19) of the Kong Mod for my Netgear R7000
my OpenVPN cannot any longer connect.
The problem is currently solved by reinstating the previous version of the firmware (12/02).
nb: this is not the first episode of this problem. I remember clearly having it back in june. Not sure what the culprit is though.
Thanks for the heads up, I was using 12/02 build (but access restrictions weren't working, so i flashed to the standard ww-drt build, but that broke openVPN). Guess it's back to 12/02 kong build and a secondary router for access restrictions :/
i guess i can't edit posts here, anyways, i updated to the 12/20 build and openVPN works fine for me (using AirVPN)
not sure if that's actually a day newer of a build than what you used before, but you might try it:

Having the same problem with build as of 12/02-16. PIA VPN stops working, LAN is OK.
Connectivity issues are a pain to deal with, especially if they are impacting your business. Because there are many variables involved in such an issue, the problem can be seemingly impossible to solve despite the amount of effort you put in to attempt to correct the issue. That said, with the correct diagnostic tools, troubleshooting such a problem can be a manageable task.
Works just fine here. Tested with 3 different VPN providers.
What I initially meant to report was the OpenVPN SERVER feature, not the client.
I am sorry that it has created confusion.
As today, with firmware 2017-Jan-03 the bug is still there.
The OpenVPN server works normally with firmware of 2016-Dec-02.
I hope it will be solved soon, does anybody has a way to troubleshoot this?
Today, a new firmware 2017-Jan-05 has been released,
but the bug is still there - the OpenVPN Server won't connect.
Downgrading to firmware of 2016-Dec-02 makes the OpenVPN server works normally.
If user Kong is reading this, please feel free to contact me.
I confirm having sames issue with OpenVPN Server. Cant recall when issue started I'm now on 9/9/16 firmware
Just like to add I've had the issue for awhile, cant recall when it started. OpenVPN server for sure works on the sept 2016 version.
The latest builds come with openvpn 2.4. IN 2.4 some params have changed or removed, thus it is important, that you check your configs. The build comes with an updated config generator and has been tested in client/server mode.
Thank you Kong for bringing light to the issue.
Unfortunately I am now forced to not update because I do not have the knowledge
necessary to troubleshoot / upgrade my configuration to OpenVPN 2.4
(unless you can provide a tutorial on how to create a configuration from scratch).
As suggested from Kong, since openvpn 2.4 by default runs dualstack ipv4 and ipv6 ,
if you did not enable IPV6 then you need to add "proto tcp4-client" or if you use the server "proto tcp4-server" in the additional configuration.
That solved the problem with my original configuration and the new firmware.
I have one questions. Do run now vps server with access restrictions together ? I like to blcok some ports for vpn user.
Or which firmware will be run with this feature ?
