Private VPN - Vodafone PT

[moody_blue]

Hi, I have the following setup:

At home:
1) Synology NAS with VPN Server (Synology package) parametrized for OpenVPN
2) Router with port 1194 open and directed to the NAS
On the road: Laptop with Win10 64-bit and OpenVPN-GUI V10

At home I'm using NOS as the ISP. From other homes with same ISP I can login to my home. When I use my phone (Vodafone 4G network) as wifi access-point, the laptop can also login to my home. But when I'm at homes with Vodafone fibre network I can't login to my home. The login process loops every 60 seconds with a timeout. Here is the opvn file:

dev tun
tls-client
remote xxxxxx.ddns.net 1194
# The "float" tells OpenVPN to accept authenticated packets from any address,
# not only the address which was specified in the --remote option.
# This is useful when you are connecting to a peer which holds a dynamic address
# such as a dial-in user or DHCP client.
# (Please refer to the manual of OpenVPN for more information.)
#float
# If redirect-gateway is enabled, the client will redirect it's
# default network gateway through the VPN.
# It means the VPN connection will firstly connect to the VPN Server
# and then to the internet.
# (Please refer to the manual of OpenVPN for more information.)
redirect-gateway def1
# dhcp-option DNS: To set primary domain name server address.
# Repeat this option to set secondary DNS server addresses.
#dhcp-option DNS DNS_IP_ADDRESS
pull
# If you want to connect by Server's IPv6 address, you should use
# "proto udp6" in UDP mode or "proto tcp6-client" in TCP mode
proto udp

Can you help ?

Check your server log for connection attempts.

Thanks for your reply, but the log showed nothing at all. I'm not sure which action solved the problem, but here is what I did:

1) Update the VPN Server package (Synology)
2) Change OpenVPN port (7194 instead of 1194)
3) Use UpNP to open port 7194 in the router (instead of manually opening it)

My money is on this one.

Thanks for letting us know your solution
