Posted: Fri Apr 27, 2012 7:06 Post subject: VPN issues (some websites / video streaming)
I have configured a PPTP VPN on build 18024. I am using my iPad as the client and am able to connect to the VPN, without issue. My IP address when connected is "correct" (ie I am definitely connected to the VPN).
I can surf to *most* sites, without issue. However, certain sites (including dd-wrt.com) cannot be accessed. In Safari, the progress bar stalls prior to navigating to the page. Similarly, I've had issues with streaming video in Safari (eg YouTube) - although this is intermittent.
In addition, I am consistently unable to access Netflix, using the iPad app (error message is displayed - which seems to indicate a connection issue, prior to getting to the login page). However, if I launch the app, login to Netflix (without the vpn on) and then turn on the VPN, I am able to stream video.
VPN Settings are:
PPTP server is enabled, Broadcast support is disabled, encryption is enabled. The server IP is set to the internal LAN address of my router.

Its something to do with MTU/MRU not being applied to pppX interfaces, speedtest.net really shows the "not loading" problem. It should be fixed in the next release from http://svn.dd-wrt.com/changeset/19032 _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)
