Hi
I have a HG633 router that is not allowing a VPN connection via OpenVPN or TunnelBear. Apparently this is a known talktalk router problem and is solved by installing of new firmware (mine is on 1.15t), but all the posts say I need to ask on the forum for talktalk to push 1.17t(?) to my router . Can you do this update please?
A workaround found on the forums (OP: maheshjagadeesan) involves enabling packet mirroring on the router with the mirrored source as wlan, using the secret router configuration page: http://192.168.1.1/html/pub/mirror.html (can't be accessed via the menus, need to login to the router then type this in the address bar). The VPN connection does work after this, but I was told this can slow down device connections so I'd prefer to have the firmware upgrade please.
Thanks.
Tom.
