Can't use PPTP VPN Connection

Hello,

 

I've been able to work from home using a PPTP VPN (with MS-CHAP v2) but all of a sudden it is no longer working. I can connect with the same VPN from my mobile network and tethering to the PC I usually work from, but no longer from my home's internet connection.

 

I noticed a few others with this issue but the solution or firmware upgrade was given in private messages so I can't seem to do anything from my end. I'm guessing I'm suffering from the same issue and my router upgraded its firmware which appears to not allow these VPN connections.

 

Look forward to hearing from you
