I just purchased the SURF SOHO router in hopes to replace my Asus. What I am about to describe works perfectly on the Asus but I cannot get it to work on the SOHO. I’m confident someone has had this issue and would appreciate some help.
I purchased the opevvpn client license from Peplink. Right now I am using only my Jetpack via USB to test this out to see if the router is going to work. My vpn runs on a Ubuntu machine on digital Ocean.
The router appears to be refusing connection from the vpn tunnel and I can’t figure out why. Apparently there is more to configure than the basic setup covered here:
Everything works up until step 7, trying to ping the SOHO or something attached to it. I get no response.
If in step 7 I ping my iphone which is connected to the vpn, I do get a response.
I tried adding port forwarding onto the SURF for port TCP 1194 pointing at 192.168.50.1 which is the lan address of the SOHO. That didn’t help either.
I will attempt to include some screenshots. Here is dashboard window. VPN is connected under the USB jetpack:
Here is part 1 detail on the openvpn client page:
Here is part 2 detail on the openvpn client page:

Thanks for any help
