OpenVPN Connection Issue
There have been some reports that OpenVPN stopped working with the latest updates to OpenVPN Connect v3.4 and OpenVPN Client v2.6. This new version changes some options in its configuration and now has stronger requirements for SSL negotiation.
The issue will be fixed in 2135/2765/2865/2927/2962/3910 v4.4.3, and Smart VPN client v5.6.3 also adds the changes to adapt OpenVPN Client v2.6.
There is no plan to update firmware for older model routers (2862/2926...etc), so continue to use OpenVPN Connect v3.3 and OpenVPN Client v2.5.8 instead.
Note: OpenVPN Connect also rejects some options in Vigor OpenVPN config, please delete [--pull-filter ignore redirect-gateway] and [ping-exit 60](UDP) in the Vigor OpenVPN config exported before importing it to OpenVPN Connect v3.4.
