Configure WRVS4400N VPN Client Account to connect my computer via VPN to my home internal subnet

cashbubba

I know that this has been beat to death but none the posts I have found via Google have fixed my problem.

First let me explain what my goal here is. I want to connect my computer to my home network when I am on the road, I do not want a VPN that connects directly to a computer or other device. I want to have access to my home internal subnet so I can connect via IP to any of the devices.

 

Here are the steps I went through to setup a VPN connection to my WRVS4400N VPN router.
    I built a VPN user under the VPN | VPN Client Account and saved the account.
    Next I generated both the Admin and Client Certificates and downloaded both to my local computer.
    Next I enabled Firewall / Basic Settings / Remote Management. This enabled HTTPS and set Remote IP Address to Any IP address. I saved the settings.
    Next I downloaded the QuickVPN Client and placed the client certificate I downloaded from the WRVS4400N into the QuickVPN install directory.
    Next I setup the QuickVPN Client to connect to my public cable modem IP address.
    Next I setup a connection to the internet using a NATted outside public IP address from another provider and tested the VPN connection. It failed!

Now when I try to connect to the VPN via the QuickVPN Client I get the following in my QuickVPN Client Log.txt file.

    [WARNING]Failed to ping remote VPN Router!

Note: I have masked my public IP address with 7x.1xx.4x.5x.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Also I tried to open a support ticket and support said since it is End Of Support they can't help me. They suggested buying a new VPN router so I can open a warranty support ticket. This is too good of a router to just replace because I am having a difficult time setting up a VPN connection.

Thank you,

Hello,

 

what is the output of 'route print' on your Windows machine ?

Under which condition? Normal connected internally, outside of the internal network not connected to the router, or when I forced the connection by making vpnserver.conf Read-Only?

Actually, the moment you try to connect with the VPN client...

My apologies for not getting this done yet. I will try to get this info sometime later today.

 

Thank you,

ChanceDawgMiner

Okay here is the output of Route Print taken when I am connected to the router VPN. Forced by changing the vpnserver.conf remotelanip from 192.168.1.2 to router public interface IP 7x.1xx.4x.5x then making the vpnserver.conf file Read-Only so the QuickVPN client could not change it back.

Hello,

 

I am not sure what the two persistent routes do in there, can you try and remove those ?

 

Persistent Routes:
Network Address Netmask Gateway Address Metric
169.254.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.168.16.170 1
169.254.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.168.1.112 1

 

You need to go into the registry to remove those routes...

 

http://www.itino.net/add-and-remove-persistent-static-routes-in-microsoft-windows/

Those should not be blocking me from accessing the 192.168.1.xxx subnet. Since they are there when I have my computer connected to the inside network side of the router it has a 192.168.1.53 IP address and those persistent routes have no affect on internal network traffic. Why do you think they should be removed?

Hello,

 

which of the interfaces listed are actually active ?

The Apple Mobile Device Ethernet is the only active connection when I am connected to the outside.

I went ahead and deleted the persistent routes and disabled all the network interfaces except for the "Apple Mobile Device Ethernet" and reconnected to the internet outside of the router and forced the connection to the VPN like before by changing the vpnserver.conf file entry remotelanip from 192.168.1.2 to 7x.1xx.4x.5x then set to Read-Only. After I connected to the VPN I grabbed the output of both "ipconfig /all" and "route print" and the they are below.
