Hi. I am getting an empty service state status line. However, the VPN connection is working fine.

Any suggestion? This looks like a bug to me. I am on an RT-AX88U Pro with 3004.388.4.

Additionally, nvram get vpn_client3_state returns "0".

Thanks

Hi,
I noticed the same whenever the WIFI service is restarted (whatever the reason) on my RT-AX86U since 3004.388.4 release (did not happen before).
Stopping & restarting the vpn client will show back correct info ...

PS: there is an incoherence in your message wrt client # (gui says 3 while nvram says 4)
 
Thanks GSpock, I had 2 VPNs up (3 and 4). Both with the empty string. I fixed the wrt# now.
 
Update: I confirm this is happening when WIFI service is stopped or started on my RT-AX88U Pro too.

To reproduce:

Code:
nvram set wl1_radio=1
nvram set wl0_radio=1
nvram commit
service restart_wireless

Your VPN service state string is now empty.

To fix the VPN service state string, you need to restart the relating VPN service:

Code:
service restart_vpnclient3
service restart_vpnclient4

Your VPN service state string is now showing the connection info.

Hopefully @RMerlin can take a look at it for next update?

Thanks.
