Hybrid VPN XR500

[LordRenen]

Hello, Ive tried getting my VPN working for a while now and it doesn't want to work. 

I flashed to ddwrt and got it working but the wireless transmission speeds were horrible so I flashed back to the official build.

Is there a way to update the servers? It looks like that's the problem? I don't have an issue connecting with the app. I've been tinkering with this for a year now at least.

Also I just did a fresh full reinstall of the software and the rapp says undefinedB even though hybrid VPN wasn't enabled so it wasn't a reboot issue as you had stated in another thread.

XR500 V2.3.2.134 from netgear site.

I've tried every city and TCP/UDP for each one and I keep getting this message.

You'll need to use the Advanced Setup with the configuration file from your OpenVPN provider for the moment and then it'll work. We need to update the list.

That'll be up to Netgear but it's something we would like to include.

That's the beauty of HybridVPN, you don't need to apply it to your whole device (unless you're on console) so the rest of your device can go through your normal connection.
