BSNL FTTH Bharat Fiber Broadband has problems after connecting to VPN

[sibidas]

Hi,

I am facing an issue with my BSNL fiber connection. After connecting to my office VPN, I am not able to access internal or external sites. I am able to ping though. I have also raised concern with BSNL team. my office IT team is telling it is a problem with the router that is shipped with BSNL connection. But I have not gotten any confirmation from bsnl team. They asked for traceroute details, which I provided. Anybody else facing similar issues using vpn through BSNL?

@phaneendrakotha also what is your VPN client ? Global protect or something?

@sibidas can you elaborate little bit on the below line.

You need to enae the port binding option to the corresponding Ethernet port in bsnl router, to which you connected the other router.
is it erase or enable, if so where exactly this has to be done in bsnl router?

Port	Binding Mode	BIndingVLAN	Change
LAN1	Binding Ports
LAN2	Binding Ports
SSID1	Binding Ports

@phaneendrakotha also what is your VPN client ? Global protect or something?

my vpn client is always on....can you share contact if you are fine to share?

 

[sibidas]

@phaneendrakotha I meant enable. Eg. If you connected bsnl LAN1 port to the other router WAN, you can check binding ports on LAN1. You can DM me @ [email protected]

I am facing the same issue with BSNL FTTH when connecting to global protect VPN. My company IT team traced all the routes and find no issues.
@sibidas : You solved the issues by configuring the BSNL router(Netlink) in bridge mode and connected Tenda modem with LAN cable . right ?
and Configured the tenda modem in ppoe mode. ?

Can you detail the steps if i miss something ...
Instead changing the BSNL router itself will work ?


---- My issue got resolved with Modem firmware update from Netlink!!---------------

Hi All,

I am facing the same issue when I try to connect to my company global Protect VPN. I am able to ping the device but internet is not working. I am uanble to take the remote of the device that I am able to ping.
I am not aware of networking jargons. If this issue is resolved can you please provide me the steps in simple language.

Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue.
I called bsnl support and consulted this issue, they updated the modem firmware after that VPN is working without any issue.

Hi,
I am troubled with the same issue. Could connect to Global protect effortlessly but relevant pages are not opening but is working fine with Mobile 4G. Plz share how to resolve this.
Thanks

@vu3knb Changed mtu to 1490. But issue persisted. On a side note, I was able to configure ONU in bridge mode (you were right. no MAC binding). I am now using my Tenda router and it is working fine. Surprisingly, now there is no VPN issue. After connecting to VPN, all sites are opening fine. So it was indeed a problem with bsnl installed router. But not sure, what setting exactly is causing this. Thanks for all the help.

I am getting the same issue like you have mentioned. Vpn (global protect)gets connected without an issue but the relevant oages are not opening. Does buying a new router only helps?
