SSL VPN with Radius authentication fails to connect after few days

nielsscheldeman

I have set up SSL VPN on ZyXEL FLEX 200H with Radius Authentication. This all works fine, but after a few days users can't connect anymore. I don't see anything in my NPS logs and also no connection tries in de FLEX. If I do a telnet to the port, it's not responding. If I turn off SSL VPn and turn it back on, everything works fine.

So would this be a bug? Or some sessions that fill up? Frustrating thing is that I don't see it in the logs. I run on V1.38(ABWV.0)

Hi @nielsscheldeman ,

Because the SSL VPN service works perfectly initially and only fails after a few days—and is immediately recovered by simply disabling and re-enabling the feature—your configuration is likely correct. This behavior suggests a potential internal system state execution issue rather than a misconfiguration.
The next time this issue occurs (before you disable/enable the service to fix it), please collect the diagnostic information and your current configuration file. This will help us analyze the state of the SSL VPN daemon when it stops responding. You can find instructions on how to collect these files here:
