Topic: Does forwarding udp work?

The content of this topic has been archived on 4 May 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hello,

with openwrt kamikaze 7 I had a problem: I was not able to forward udp protocol (so I had to configure openvpn to use tcp).

With kamikaze 8.09 udp was working, but now it has stopped working and I am now forced to put again openvpn to tcp mode.

I have not changed the configuration so I do not understand what happens.

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance for any reply.

Forwarding UDP works with both 7.09 and 8.09. I think your problem may lie elsewhere.

So please suggest me what setting I have changed that blocked udp forwarding. Two days ago it was working, today not.

Sigh, it seems my bug, I had it also on 7.09 with wrt54gl and now with 8.09 with asus500 premium.

In my case it seems that it was ok for two weeks but then I have done two things:

- installed/removed some packages, x-wrt luci etc.
- started on a pc  mldonkey that uses a lot udp.

After these two "uncommon" activities I started seeing openvpn not working and I had to switch back to tcp.

The situation is even worse: after a week also tcp forwarding breaks and I have to reset the router.

The discussion might have continued from here.
