Try the steps I mentioned to see if the VPN actually applies or not

Leave the R3 in DHCP, put the R3 WAN IP in the TIM DMZ, then you could restart the R3 and get internet

I've passed on the link to this topic as we may require your help testing it, we may come back to you if needed

If you could create your own topic and answer the questions I asked above there then we can help and focus on you there.

Let us know how you get on!

There won't be a double NAT issue if the R3 is put in the DMZ of the router handling PPPoE.

This wasn't for the R3 but what is it exactly that isn't working? It would be better to make your own topic so we can focus on you there

Are ALL devices connected to the R3? How do you have SmartBOOST/Congestion Control set?

Added you all

I'd say DMZ with the TIM handling PPPoE

Not really outright, what is it you're wanting to block specifically? Perhaps there is a workaround

That's great to hear, you're very welcome, thanks for the update!

It doesn't work for HTTPS which is what most websites now use. You can try to use the Adblocker and add the domains/URLs you want to block which may be more effective but it wasn't designed specifically for that function

Added - it has been removed momentarily

Yes you would get strict/moderate NAT using a VPN, that's expected. If using a DNS address didn't give you an strict/moderate NAT then I would say that it wasn't really VPNing your connection at all. Google my ip with the DNS on default, then do the same with the DNS set, do they match? Are you able to connect the PlayStation via ethernet to see if it still happens?

No worries, keep us posted!

Okay well that's the issue, it has all the available servers listed so the router doesn't know which one to use. You'll need to remove all but one of the route line entries to select that server and then it should connect and work better.

Device Manager on the router interface

Please provide the logs when you get the issue and I can take a look

It has been added back in the latest Early Access update so must have been a regression. Yeah that would be a good idea, thanks! Yes it should work just the same, all it needs to do is to allow you to add the PC to the Geo-Filter without having to select a specific game. I do like that idea and I'll certainly pass it onto the team!

Does the Geo-Filter show servers with that same console/device added? When playing does Network Monitor show traffic for that same device? Have you done any port forwarding rules for the device or put it in the DMZ? Have you done a Traffic Controller rule for the device?

If you use the radius mode and cover a few more servers, just say the entire West coast do you get the same issues?

Right okay so you're actually trying to use a VPN just by using the DNS? I'd say if it's happening every 30 minutes that's likely on the VPN side, nothing on the router happens like clock work that frequently. If you're going to use a VPN it would be best to use it with HybridVPN on the router. You can just download the logs and provide them here.

What DNS are you using specifically? Please get the logs from the R3 settings when the issue happens

And you've confirmed the WAN IP of the R3 hasn't changed? Reserve an IP address for the PlayStation on the R3 also then reboot the console
