Router blocking access to VPN

JPC2022 — Mon, 16 May 2022 07:47:39 GMT

I have previously used TalkTalk for 18 months with no issues connecting to my workplace VPN. My entire family have in the last 2 weeks lost access to VPN with their respective employers. The TalkTalk router has been checked by my work place and they found no issues on their end and suggested that I try connecting remotely from another location instead just to test the system. Bingo, connected right away using routers from competitors of TalkTalk, so my issue is that it would seem that the Sagemcom CS 50001 Device: FAST 5364-3 T8 is blocking access to workplace VPN. Please could you find a quick resolution to this issue so we can continue to work! thanks in advance,

If you start your own thread (new message), we’d love to help.

We’ve found that posting in someone else’s conversation makes it harder to follow when looking for an answer.

It’s easier and quicker if we can chat with you in a single thread, if you start your own thread, that will keep our community organised and help others with a similar problem.

Check your home phone number or account number are also added to your Community Profile as that will really help us to find your details quicker.

Thanks

Karl
