Reconnects not neogiotating new port on server.

Post by chase84 » Thu Jun 07, 2018 1:17 pm

Hi all. First time poster. I've been using open VPN for quite some and it works flawlessly for me for the most part. I do have one issue though that I just cannot seem to nail down. I at least now know what the issue is and what is going on... I have a Synolgy NAS at a remote site that connects to my open VPN server that runs on my router. once in a while, the connection will drop and the NAS tried to reconnect... When it does reconnect, it connects with the same port number (by design according to Synology) yet the router is using a new port number. The connection stays up but nothing actually works... Any ideas how to 'fix' this?

Thanks in advance.

If the server is running on your router then the port on the router will not change ..
