Google wifi just stopped allowing traffic to my work vpn overnight - any ideas

VPN
1

I have a 1st gen google WIFI system that just stopped allowing traffic to my employer vpn endpoint overnight. I can access other corporate resources at different public IPs, but the same port (8443). If i connect nord or use mobile data I can connect fine. I reset and factory reset with no resolution, If i connect direct to modem I can access the resource as well, but that isn’t a manageable solution. has anyone seen anything like this and been able to resolve it?

Edit/solution - Oddly, it was one of the pucks. I factory reset again and changed one of my aps to the router and everything is fine… What a nightmare of a day.

You sure there’s not an issue on the company side of things?

That would seem more likely than Google singling out your corporate VPN.

Definitely your company vpn blocking, not anything with google.

I manage the VPN for my company. Occasionally, NAT tables on home routers get corrupted and prevent VPN from connecting. Resetting the router usually resolves it. This is typically more of a problem for native ipsec VPN tunnels, where the router has to do some special work to make it work through NAT. I haven’t seen it in years since we switched to UDP encapsulation for ipsec and SSL VPN.

That is strange. Glad you got it sorted.
