Hi,
I have recently bought the Netgear XR500 for configuring my own LAN devices with VPN. I've tried to configure HybridVPN, but i cant make it work properly. I have as of now 2 devices in my LAN(described below). The Iphone works without a problem, but my laptop is giving me wrong public IP and location.
I've tried the following:
Configuring the routers internet settings with the DNS provided by the VPN provider
Different openVPN config file to test if TCP or UDP tunneling would do the trick
Flushed DNS on laptop, flushed browser for cached data and also restarted all devices on my LAN(including the router)
Included devices under VPN Traffic and selected the following mode : DO NOT VPN THESE SERVICES
Checked that the MAC-address provided by DUMAOS corresponds with the physical address of the devices
I havent been able to find a solution to this specific problem on this, or the netgear community forum. If anyone here has a solution or could give me some tips for further problem solving, that would be much appreciated.
