Netduma Alex Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 No problem. Sorry we haven't solved it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMack Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 It's all good.. we'll get there.. At least you have acknowledged it and are working on it, what more can I ask for. Since you have been so helpful so far with the ongoing issue i figured I would also ask this here. Is there a way to add e tries for iptables I couldn’t find it for sure. Something like this for port forwarding over the vpn https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/9270-how-to-forward-ports-in-dd-wrt-tomato-with-iptables/ Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 29, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 29, 2019 No there is no way to do this via the interface unfortunately. Wouldn't recommend messing with iptables either as that could really cause issues if done incorrectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMack Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Bummer. So there is no intentions of adding this ability going forward. Or perhaps incorporate port forwarding in your hybrid vpn configuration since this is where it would most likely be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine so as it was designed to be very easy to use, if we add complex features like that in it could be a nightmare. That could be possible yes, although keep in mind ports can be closed on the VPN side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMack Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Understood. I just know that some services support port forwarding over the vpn so I can’t imaging them blocking it. Would be perfect if that would get added. Just wanted to provide an update... The connection has been up for close to 20 hours now.. there was some small pockets of downloading with some uploading.. The logs are still flooded with those errors reported yesterday but so far the GUI has not crapped out yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Well that's relatively reassuring. Keep us updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMack Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Granted the total data flow was lower than when it disconnected and went unresponsive by about 10Gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Oh right well that might be why then. I have a feeling that it's something to do with packet size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMack Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Yeah I figured that as the data flow increased the log size got out of control causing the lockups.. the errors were still showing up in the logs just less since there was less over all data. I am happy to test anything you guys may need on the system To update. It just disconnected and the Hybid VPN page is unresponsive.. The client is still connected to the internet even though the option to block traffic is on. This was while downloading about 4 gigs of data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 30, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 30, 2019 How were you performing the download, was it via a torrent or normal web download? I'd reboot the router to get access back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMack Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 It was through a torrent client, I have rebooted the router and the connection came right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 30, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 30, 2019 Could you disable uTp and see if it happens again when you're downloading a large file please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMack Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Just double checked. It's not active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 30, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 30, 2019 When you're downloading a big file again check Traffic Prioritization to see if packets are being prioritized, if they are that could cause the issue.

JMack Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 I will check a little later thought. I want to say it was not but it was only a glancing look at that page earlier. I'll be sure to make note Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMack Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Just ran a test. Kicked off a download and no high priority traffic was detected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 30, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 30, 2019 Okay thanks for checking. Did it disconnect this time? Do you encounter the drops when not using the VPN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMack Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 It did not disconnect but the logs were still getting flooded with entries. I did end up stopping the download once I made note of the logs and priority traffic in the router. Smaller files and pockets of moderate uploading doesn’t not appear to affect the connection or router much. So far any drop outs have been a result of larger downloads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Have you tried multiple VPN providers? Didn't you say that your previous provider didn't have this problem? If you were to run the VPN using their desktop software, would the errors still occur? I'm trying to figure out if this is a problem that would occur with this VPN even if you used it outside of the Netduma software, or if it's some incompatibility with the Netduma software that i'm not aware of. I also wonder if it's the log itself crashing the interface, and that if the error was hidden, it might work fine. That's something that i'll have to ask the devs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMack Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 The error has happened with three different providers. I can run the test with the stand alone OpenVPN software as a test too to see if the logs flood.. stand by. I do think it may just be the logs that is getting full causing the crash but unsure. Stand by let me test outside the router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMack Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Ok the OpenVPN software is flooded with those very same entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 That's really interesting. So maybe it's some other connection issue? Do you think your modem is interfering in some way? Or your ISP? Does your modem/upstream router have any firewall or QoS or port forwarding that could be interfering with the connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMack Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 the modem is in complete bypass mode (modem device only not a modem/router combo) and customer owned. In the router I have Anti-Bufferbloat on when high priority traffic is detected (but testing last night showed it did not flag as such). I have port forwarding on the router setup but on services/ports/devices that this machine is not using Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
