Hi,

I'm getting an issue while connecting to office VPN. It was working fine from last two years. Seems like there is an update on router last night and unable to connected to VPN.

Can I see many other people raising the same issue.

Hi @Pootle Sheffield,

 

You will need to create a new topic for the staff here to be able to help you, they try to stick to helping one customer per topic so the conversation does not get confused. 

 

When you create your new topic can you confirm what model of router you have, and what VPN client you are using.

 

If you have the Sagemcom Wi-Fi Hub, and you are using the built in Windows 10/11 VPN then you may well be suffering the same issue that a few customers have seen recently.

Hi, I am also suffering from this issue, I can't seem to log onto my companies VPN network at all, it works when I go through my phone as a mobile hotspot, but nothing at all from my router - can you please send me a new router asap or resolve this problem asap too please.  Can someone @Debbie-TalkTalk or @Karl-TalkTalk please help and resolve this issue. Everything was working fine and my company IT Department informs me it is to do with Talk Talk, other people in my company are having the same issue, please do help me asap. Thanks for this.

Hi Jaz13

 

I've checked and it appears that a change has been made to the firmware version.

 

Please can you continue to monitor this over the weekend and let us know if you do experience any further issues.

 

Thanks

 

Debbie

Yes it is working now.

Not using powerline adapters. Connected to router by ethernet and also uninstalled WAN Miniport adapters.

Can you please advise what was the issue - which is common with many other users. And what was an update on my router to fix this?

Hi

 

can you reboot everything including the router and see if the error is the same.

Hi Karl,

Sorry still not connecting to VPN.

But error message is different now "You might to change the network settings for this connection"

 

Previously it was saying "The port used for this connection was closed"
