My VPN stopped working on my FlashRouter.

TeamFlashRouters · Jun 4, 2019 ·

The VPN connection on the FlashRouter will not drop in most instances however if the VPN stopped working follow the steps below.

In order to use the FlashRouters Privacy App you need DD-WRT build 02/15/22 r48362 or 2/10/20 r42335.

Follow these instructions to upgrade the firmware to 02/15/22 r48362: How do I upgrade the DD-WRT firmware of my FlashRouter?

If you would like the fully featured FR Privacy App version with Simple Setup you must use firmware builds from 2/10/20 r42335.

FlashRouters Privacy App

Navigate to Status > MyPage

  1. If MyPage is not properly loading the FlashRouters Privacy App try reinstalling the FlashRouters Privacy App.
  2. With the Auto Connect to VPN box checked simply power off the FlashRouter and power it back on to connect back to VPN.
  3. Verify that you have the correct settings entered for your provider. A change in the user information used to authenticate the VPN connection will cause a disconnect.
  4. Try a different VPN server location.
  5. If applicable, switch from UDP to TCP or vice versa.
  6. Make sure that you have any VPN/proxy apps and extensions turned off on all devices connected to the FlashRouter.
