I have been having problems ever since I did a firmware update recently and my openvpn is not working correctly. I use a Netgear R7800 with firmware v3.0-r40276. I didn't change any settings but after the update my openvpn client will no longer let me connect. According to PIA the problem is the last line of my log date is 12/31/1969. On the status screen of my router it does show the correct date and time for today so it isn't incorrect in the router but somehow the vpn is pulling the wrong date.

Anyone know how to fix this? I am guessing it is probably a setting somewhere? Please let me know if you need any other information. Thanks

Post a picture of your settings

Post a picture of the top of the status page
I.e. what is the connection status?

I am using PIA on 40352 on a R6400v2
Without major problems.

BS has been working on VPN, problems with PBR,SFE and UDP forwarding

I am currently testing all those

When I revert back to Kongs build from 10/28/2018 everything on my vpn works fine. However some of my other equipment ie logitech harmony becomes unstable and can't hold an internet connection. When I switch back to the latest 40270M build vpn is broken but my logitech device works great. Is there a way to get any of the other older but not that old builds of Kongs work? Here are the screen shots.

Your pictures are too large resize please, no larger than 600 pixels wide.

erase username and password from picture !

You show connected, I am suspecting SFE problem as you are using PBR.
Disable Shortcut Forwarding Engine on setup page and reboot router.

Furthermore LZO compression is probably wrong, it should be set to No, but server will override so not a big problem.

Probably not worth wasting the ink to post this but
being the obedient type as I am Cool I have LZO compression set to "Yes" like I am told here:

LZO Compression = Yes


PIA has always connected and worked fine with this setting but as egc said...
apparently it does not matter.

Yeah, they should update their settings, but as said server side pushing will override, so not a big problem.

corrected the LZO, not that it matters Smile I adjusted photos, sorry. Shortcut forwarding was already disabled. Still cant get this to work with the new firmware. Any other suggestions? Any links to older builds of Kong firmware?

Thanks

Your log shows you are connected.

What happens when you delete the entry in the PBR field and reboot the router?

Do you have a functioning vpn?

Here is 39855M-5-25-19. If you need it.
OVPN and PBR (and everything else) work great for me with this one.

Also the MD5 that was supplied with it.

Just a NOTE about SFE & QCA-IPQ806X routers:
The SFE will NOT turn itself off if you 'Disable' Save & Apply Settings in the webif but it then should after a reboot.
Not positive about r40276, don't remember, but it is for sure broken in r40370. AFAIK BS has fixed that today.

Also AFAIK Kong builds SFE has always been off by default so shouldn't be same problem unless maybe you enable it and then disble it.
you can, of course thru ssh/telnet check lsmod and see if he is on or not

Just reinstalled 40270M on R7800 and used these instructions.
OVPN + PBR works as expected now. I have had SFE enabled since PBR + SFE was fixed some time ago.

It broke some time after 39855M May 25th.

Then I dont get internet access on any of my computers. Tried that already. It says connected but I still get no access to internet. when I go back on firmware the TUN/TAP write bytes is no longer 0 does that mean anything?

Thanks for the tip, but I already had this off by default with multiple reboots in between.

Not changing my settings and just changing to this firmware the openvpn works perfect????
