Hello I am using a GL-E750V2 with OpenVPN and Layer 2 Configuration. The same configuration works on a GL-MT300N-V2. It does not work on the GL-E750V2. In LuCI I have the OpenVPN Client installed -> luci-app-openvpn git-23.093.42303-4b07c72 12.47 KiB LuCI Support for OpenVPN Installed.
But I see the following:
The GL-E750V2 has current firmware: 0319release3
Why can I not connect? What other information is required to help with this challenge?
Thank you.
is the third party plugin luci-app-openvpn git-23.093.42303-4b07c72 installed?
GL GUI supported the OpenVPN Client without installing the plugin.
But the GL firmware of E750V2 and MT300NV2 are not supported OpenVPN TAP (Layer 2) mode.
If installed plugins for the TAP, you can compare whether the plugins and dependencies installed in MT300NV2 and E750V2 are complete and same.
Thank you, if the device does not support TAP then I guess I need to look for another solution.
The OpenVpn client is installed:
On the MT300NV2, it looks like there is tun plugin, so you can test whether it can work in TAP.
Since probably beyond the GL functions which I mean regarding these third-party plugins, so it requires actual config to verify to test if it works.
The XE300 is not supported, and the version needs to be updated to 4.6 later.
Like the MT3000, AXT1800, SFT1200, etc. have been updated to the firmware version after 4.6.
In the later period, there are firmware updates for the MT300NV2/ E750V2, so I assume it will support TAP when they got 4.6. Please await first to see the new firmware if the TAP feature is supported (evaluating whether the performance of these models is sufficient) instead of buying new routers.
Thank you Bruce.
The MT300V2 works in TAP and I can connect. I have been using the MT300V2 successfully in TAP mode for a few years now.
When do you expect 4.6 to be released for E750V2?
I may not be able to determine the time of release.
The v4.6 firmware of the E750 V2 may be released in before Q2.
We arrange R&D resources to release asap.
Hello Bruce, I have looked into this problem a little further. I have noticed that V4 firmware on the Mango no longer supports L2 VPN while the last version of V3 does support L2 VPN on the Mango.
When I load V3 firmware on the E750V2, it no longer has wireless comms and the modem does not function.
Is there a version of V3 firmware for the E750V2 that supports wireless (cellular) communications?
Thank you.
Hello,
The GL v3.x firmware of E750 supports cellular modem function.
Please export syslog to check if modem is loaded after restarting the device.
