BaconIsDelishus Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I just downloaded and installed the 1.03.6g update. No discernable issues right away. However, I tried to add exceptions to a host on my VPN (PIA), and they didn't appear to be having any effect -> all traffic was still going through the VPN. If I unchecked the computer completely from using the VPN, then it would be routed through my ISP again. So, the VPN-Hybrid stuff seemed to be broken. I then tried to change which port I connected to PIA to (from 443 to 1194) in the advanced connection settings just to see if it made any difference. The router completely froze up, and had to be manually restarted again. Now when I try to change the port back, I get an error in the interface "Failed to communicate with router". And of course, the VPN has stopped working altogether, for all devices. Any help is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted February 23, 2016 Netduma Staff Share Posted February 23, 2016 For the Failed to communicate with router error, I believe you will need to do a factory reset. How were you checking to see if the traffic was still been routed through the VPN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconIsDelishus Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yeah I figured out the factory reset. That's done, and the VPN is back up. I use DDNS with Synology. When I check the Synology's host, the dynamic IP it pulls is for the VPN. When I uncheck, it pulls the ISP IP address. I tried adding port 443 (source and destination) as an exception, and that has no effect. (I use freedns.afraid.org for DDNS, and it uses an https address for updating the IP). Even if I add freedns.afraid.org as a host under the exceptions, that has no effect. It seems that either a host goes through the VPN or it doesn't. EDIT: I also just tried it from a laptop. I just added my laptop to the VPN via the checkbox, then tried adding exceptions for port 80 and port 443. When I type "whats my ip" in google, I get the VPN IP address. Am I not doing this correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 24, 2016 Administrators Share Posted February 24, 2016 Try this: Disable VPN completely. Remove any exceptions for that device. Enable VPN for that device Once connected, redo the exception that you want See if it works then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconIsDelishus Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 I did that, and even one better; I did a factory reset and set the VPN up from scratch again. No joy. Does this work for you guys? If so, can you post a screenshot of what your port exclusion looks like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconIsDelishus Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 I found that I can set the exclusion for "Google services including YouTube", which seems to work great -> Google reports my ISP IP address when that's setup. It just doesn't seem to work correctly for ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconIsDelishus Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 So, I was trying different combinations of using source port vs destination port and appear to have completely hosed the VPN section of my R1. All I get is a progress bar there now, even after 2 factory resets. Help!! Edit: The rest of the interface works normally. This issue only applies to the VPN page. I have the same result from multiple PCs on my LAN, using both wired and wireless connections. Chrome is my browser du jour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconIsDelishus Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 So somehow this problem appears to have resolved itself in the last couple of hours. I can access the VPN UI now, even though for several hours I could not. So, I suppose I'm back to my original question about how to correctly setup port exclusions.

BaconIsDelishus Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 I seemed to have resolved my own issue. I would just like a bit of explanation on how it works. I resolved the issue by setting my exceptions to use the destination only. Before, I was using source and destination, and it didn't work. If I type "https://google.com/"in my browser, thats going to leave my PC (the source) as port 443, and go out to google (the destination) as port 443. I don't understand why destination only worked, but source & destination doesnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 27, 2016 Administrators Share Posted February 27, 2016 From my understanding of it, when you are pinging Google at port 443 you are not sending from port 443 but rather a different port, and they don't send the acknowledgement back to 443 either.
