VPN client does not connect automaticly after reboot

[Patrik Bruce]

Hi,

I'm using a ASUS RT-AC66U with Merlin 380.69_2. I have configured a VPN client with selectiv routing and it works great. In my area it's not uncommon with black-outs or unstable power that consequently leads to reboot of the router. When rebooted the client get in service status Off and not connects. When I manually put it in On state it connects imidiatly.

Is this by design?
or is it a configuration miss of me?

Hi,

On your VPN client page, do you have "Start With WAN" set to yes?

I reboot my router for various thing's, mostly because I be playing around on it. But, I have 2 VPN client's start up with WAN. During this boot process, client's have no access to the internet until, both VPN's re-establish themselves after a reboot.

If you reboot too frequently however(such as 3 or 4 reboots in a short amount of time), I found sometimes the VPN client gets stuck bringing itself back up and require's a manual turn on.

Hi davi,

You solved it. When I configured the router I remeber that I put the "Start with WAN" parameter to "Yes", when I read your post I realised I should give this a second check and it was set to "No". I must have played around in there, by misstake changed it and saved. Sometimes it's so obvius that you don't check.

Problem solved, You got me on the right track, appriciate.
