VPN not working

[NickBailey111]

VPN not working. Been told by external IT provider that it is due to PPTP not being support by TALK TALK after May 2022.

Please help me so i can work from home

Hi

I've changed the firmware whilst we work on a later firmware version that will work with the majority of VPN clients.

Thanks. It is working now.

What prevented it from working? I didnt have this issue at the start of the year.

Hi

Give the VPN a try now.

Yep, go for it pal.

I've stuck my account number in a notes section as it is not obvious to me where to put it. I dont know what my telephone number is. I havent used my landline in 10 years.

Hi

I need to make a change to your router firmware, this will knock you off line for up to 5 minutes, Is it ok to do this now ?

Thanks  

Karl.

I presumed you would have my details already given I am a customer. I have updated them.

Hi Nick,

Can you add your home phone number or account number to your 'Community Profile' so I can locate your details and I'll pick this up for you.

Also, all methods of VPN will work across our network, PPTP, L2TP/IPsec, open VPN etc

Thanks  

Karl.
