RV 120W Wireless-N VPN Firewal - Dynamic DNS

[OneToOneNat]

Hello Everybody,

I have a question concerning RV 120W Wireless-N VPN Firewal and Dyndns:

Is it possible to use other DDNS Provider exept the two are listet in the Managemnt Interface?

       

Background:

I want to use Quick VPN, to access my Home Devices, but the Problem is thath i cant choose/select my ddns Provider.

I want to use no-ip.com because its a free Service. DynDns is not a free Service anymore.

I have a DSL Modem (Pirelli PRGAV4202N2) wich provieds ddns service (also with no-ip) but only in Multi-User mode. But in Multi-User mode the Moden owns the public IP Adress and not the Router wich seems to be nessasary to use VPN. My Modem can pass everything trough (also Public IP) but only in Single-User mode and in this mode my Router takes care of all processes. That would by great but thahts also my Problem: no-ip is not chosseable in the Mgmt. Interface. Was this possibly in an earlyer Firmware? (My Current Firmware is 1.0.5.6).

I have allready tried the following (but i cant get QuickVPN working):

turning Firewall off on my Modem

mapping all ports trough to my Router

setting my Router as DMZ Host in the Modem

It would be great if anybody give me Input/Information about this Topic

Thanks a lot

Best regards

Alexander

Alexander,

The RV120W does not support no-ip.com. If you have another device that supports DDNS on the LAN you can use it to update the service. An IP camera, NAS, PC running DDNS update application are some examples.

Have you tried connecting with QuickVPN with the modem bridged and only using the WAN IP address of the RV120W instead of the no-ip address? If that works you should be able to connect with the modem forwarding to the RV120W. QuickVPN uses 443 and 60443 TCP, 500 and 4500 UDP.

If you cannot connect directly to the RV120W using the WAN IP, your ISP may be blocking ports.

Alexander,

To make a feature request you will need to open a case with support.

Do you have any device on the LAN that can update DynDNS?

hallo marty,

I have checked all settings on the router, firewall on the client but no succsess.

After hanging at ,,veryfing network" i get message vpn server does not respond do you want to wait.

Alex,

Usually the cause of this issue is a third party firewall program on the client PC which is blocking the ping replies from the router. Check the status of the router using Remote Management when you are trying to connect, chances are the router thinks that you are connected because it replied to the ping requests. Try disabling any antivirus/firewall software but leave the Windows Firewall enabled.

Alex,

Where are you connecting from?

Can you try a different location to connect from or even a different PC at another location?

Marty,

now i checked it from a laptop, connected via mobileinternet stick and its still the same ....!?!?!

And again the strange thing: in the router it says the user was connected but on the laptop its always showing ,,verifying network"

Alexander,

At this point I think that you should call support and ask the engineer to test from the lab and see if they can make a QuickVPN connection. Create a test QuickVPN account on the router before you call.
