Connecting to AirVPN with Manual DNS issue

[mis103]

Hi

At the moment i have an 1 x AC88U and a 2 x AC3200 that have the same set up.

I use them with AIRVPN with Manual DNS (Air VPN)

I unfortunately get the same issue. If there is a disconnection or the router is booting up you must do the following in order to make the VPN Connect.

Turn "Connect to DNS Server automatically" to Yes
Go To VPN Page make sure it turns from connecting to Connected. (When set to "Start with WAN")
Once its connected
Turn "Connect to DNS Server automatically" to NO

Going back to manual DNS, this then works.

Without this process the VPN will simply not connect and just sits on the connecting screen.

Any advice or assistance with this would be much appreciated. Air VPN have unfortunately not been able to assist with this specific issue.

Thanks

Further to above. I forgot to mention this happens over numerous versions of the Asuswrt-Merlin Firmware back around a year and they are on the 380.64_2 at the moment

Make sure you set DNS mode to "exclusive".

Thanks for your response,

Unfortunately this didn't change the result.

Hi Again

Unfortunately this issue still persists after chaining the dns mode to exclusive.

Do you have any idea of other potential causes?

Thanks
