VPN Block

[Shane470]

My router has worked perfectly with my company's VPN for over a year but 3 weeks ago it suddenly stopped working and would not connect to the VPN. I liased a lot with the Three support team and my companies IT department who tried everything. I even bought the new 5G "working from home hub" which also persisted with the same issue. The VP  connects without a problem when using different networks.

I was then informes by the Three team that they updated their system which is causing the block on VPNs. The problem has been going on for 3 weeks now and they they have yet to resolve it.

I am thinking the quickest way to resolve the issue is to change network provider to one that does not block thr VPN.

There is a lot of people within my company who are having the same issue. Some have already changed provider which fixed it immediately.

Hi Jonathan,

I got the Three hub 3 days ago and I can't connect to my company VPN and working from home.

I'm using Cisco AnyConnect VPN but can't reach the server and get connection timeout error.

Could you please add me to the list.

Thank you.

I have also been having problems connecting to nordvpn through the 3 network for the past 3 - 4 weeks, I think since the network went to 5g, never had any problems in the past 2 years prior to the switch over to 5g.

I am also having issues still connecting to the VPN. Sometimes it works when I restart my laptop, and change my settings to allow IP Passthrough, but this doesn't last long and then the internet stops working on some of my devices so I have to switch it back off.

Hi @BerkshireBugsy,

Can you let me know which VPN service you use? Is this issue frequent drop outs of your VPN connection, or are you unable to connect at all?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Hello: I've been having a similar problem for the past 3-4 weeks using 5G Broadband with Three. The IT department of my organisation tried all sorts including changing channels, but none of it worked. The funny thing is it worked for weeks earlier. The IT department of my organisation thinks the broadband provider must have changed some settings. I get all sorts of error message- 'the page is offline, check your connectivity'; 'the site can't be reached'; ER_Mandatory_Proxy_configuration_failed' amongst others. Kindly assist.

In addition, it just loses connection every other 5 minutes.

Thanks.

That helped thank you.  And saw you in many threads, thanks for helping me join the dots to solve.  And @Anvil_Iron , thank you!

NR5103E.  Had it 10 months, no probs - always connected.  Then router lost connection overnight.  Restarted it.  Internet & smart devices connected but not Work VPN.  Arrived here 🙂  Took these steps to solve:

On side bar...
Network Setting > Broadband > Cellular APN
Modify #1

To this...

OK, restart router.  2 mins later all is well with my work VPN connection and is as quick as before.
