Known Issues:
- The BR200 GUI cannot be reached through VPN, through a static route from a different subnet, or by LAN users from a VLAN other than the default management LAN (VLAN 1).
Workaround: Access the GUI from the BR200 default management LAN.
- NAT loopback does not work in this release. NAT loopback is useful for accessing internal resources by public domain name.
Workarounds: Use one of these workarounds:
- Change device hosts file to map public domain name to local IP when working on the same subnet as a public server.
- Use a separate DNS server that can handle accessing public resources from an internal network.
- When applying the Disable, Enable, and Add IPSec policy features to a new routing table and firewall rules, an established IPSec connection briefly disconnects.
Workaround: Change the IPSec policy only when a brief disconnect is acceptable.
- Different IPSec policies (Rules) have to use the same Pre-Shared Key (PSK).
- After the firmware update, GUI access through the Firefox browser is slow. The root cause of this issue is that Firefox does not update the certificate properly.
Workaround: Remove all old BR200 certificates:
- Launch Firefox.
- Select Options > Privacy & Security.
- Scroll down to the Security section.
- Click the View Certificates button.
- Delete all certificates named www.routerlogin.net.
- OpenVPN is missing the remote-cert-tls server in the client.opvn export.
Workaround: If “No server certificate verification method has been enabled" error is shown in the Open VPN client status window, add a new line at the end of the client.opvn configuration file with this text:
remote-cert-tls server
- DHCP server max client limited to 254 addresses.
- IPv6 passthrough doesn't work.
- NAT-T cannot be disabled with IPSec IKEv1.
- Unable to change name in IP/MAC Reservations or on Insight Cloud Portal.
- Wrong subnet is displayed in the IPSec VPN log.
