Attempting to help neighbor with 2 router vpn setup, but vpn does not function. Used this tutorial https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-dual-router-setup-with-one-dedicated-vpn-router-2021.69615/ with a telmex sercom FG6122TM router and RT AC86U merlin current FW as vpn. Using surfshark and their ovpn tcp file and assigned user credentials.
Telmex router specs state vpn passthru supported, but cannot find anything in settings,etc related to vpn or nat. Very basic menu.
Asus works fine as a passthru to internet, but entering vpn settings and turning on vpn yields two error comments 1)server client connection (screenshot) 2) Authentication password auth only Yes. Changing 2) to No eliminates that warning (screenshot).
It appears the vpn is not getting out on the internet....?
Telmex IP is 192.168.1.254, Asus 192.168.0.1 Lan to Wan connection. Asus DHCP on, did not specify gateway in Asus (per tutorial) but tried using Telmex IP no go. Asus Lan DNS off (per tutorial) and tried google DNS no go.IPV6 off on Telmex and Asus…..
Tried surfshark tech support and that was hopeless….
Suggestions?
thx
