Recently changed jobs and have a work laptop but cannot connect to the work VPN.  Have spoken to TalkTalk customer services twice today and they cannot help.  Have reset the router twice and still nothing.  My work IT Department said TalkTalk are blocking it and there is nothing they can do from their end.  TalkTalk said they wouldn't do this so I am just going round in circles and getting very frustrated as this didn't happen with my previous employer

Hi @wnorton1
 

Can you please add your home phone number or Account number to your Community Profile. 

 

We will not attempt to call you, this is so we can locate your account and run tests on your line if you are reporting a fault.


We will then reply via this thread in our Community with any further advice or next steps.


If unsure of your phone number, and if your line is working simply dial 17070 from your land line phone and this will confirm the number for you.  Alternatively these details can be found within My Account online or may be on the heading of any paperwork you have received.

 

Please post back on this thread when this has been done.


Thanks

 

Karl.

Which make/model of TalkTalk router are you using & what version of firmware is it running?

 

What VPN client is installed on your PC to allow you to connect to your work's network?

The TalkTalk Community has now moved to a peer-to-peer support model. This means that the TalkTalk team will no longer be here to support with queries. Don’t worry, there are plenty of ways to reach out if you need to speak to TalkTalk directly. For more details check out the link here How to contact TalkTalk Broadband - TalkTalk Help & Support
