OpenVPN Disconnects Overnight Or During Usage

Technical Support for Routers

Hello All!

just wanted to Say Hi! to the community and wanted to see if someone can help me with something issues that i have been seeing with my “GL-MT300N-V2-766” Router, im not that advance tech-guy but here goes:

When connecting to OpenVPN i upload the files and log-in my credentials and i setup the DNS in to 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4, everything seems to be working perfectly but after a while it disconnects from the VPN server…BUT it still says that it is “connected” but when i try to use my Roku device it tells me that im not in US territory, but if i reboot and re-connect and/or change the DNS settings it will start to work normally. and it starts to get really frustrated that i had to go manually and do that to keep using my Tv, sometimes when i do this changes the mini GL disappears and doesn’t re-appear until i fully disconnect the power from the GL and/or i have to use the reset button. or hangs idle but cant connect the GL until i have to reset or let it sit there for a while.

the current vpn provider that im using is “SurfShark” and wanted to know if it is the Service it self? the router? or would you think that i need to downgrade the firmware of the GL mini.

Note* GL is running Firmware 2.271

any help would be appreciated Thank you!

Try the new frimware:

I would advise changing from Google DNS > Cloudfare.
Are you using to a USA server?
You are connected but it is disconnected? Do you mean the firmware says connected but the internet has stopped? This is normally a problem with the ovpn file (search vpn reconnect)

THANKS!!!..Glitch will have to do a new firmware update see if this helps out, and to answer both of you questions.

• Yes im trying to connect to a USA server
• Yes on the GL Interface it says connected but i have no internet connection. and if i do have internet connection im flag on my devices that i am not inside US territory. In which case this would pointless to have the OpenVPN.

i will give it a shot see if the new firmware helps a more stable connection to the US server and doesn’t drop like i said it any info would help and thanks again!
