GT-AX6000 and OpenVPN issue

[Michael James]

Hello all. I upgraded the GT-AX6000 to the newest firmware this week. Everything was working ok and then the OpenVPN just stopped connecting.
I did the upgrade thru the GUI interface.
I did not reboot after the firmware upgrade.
I did not restore previous settings.
The log is showing the right WAN IP address.
I tested the DDNS address using Port Forward and it connects to my camera server so I know the DDNS is correct.


So my question is this..

*****when you do a firmware update, do you have to go back in and setup OpenVPN from scratch?*****

Normally no, but this new firmware brought with it a lot of changes, some of which relates to VPN.

I had an issue with the VPN also, after a factory reset it seems to have fixed it. My issue was with Wireguard.

I just had to delete the client entry and create a new one and it was working fine.

Nope. Open VPN should work just like it worked before..... I have ZERO problems with OpenVPN after the firmware upgrade. REBOOT your router....! Shut it off manually from the ON/OFF switch and let it reboot.. You should be OK
