AdGuard VPN IKEv2 not working - workaround/alternatives?

[reckor]

Hello, 

New user of NetCraze Ultra - and quite impressed by this router. I hope that's fine to write in English as Russian is not my mother language.

I've been trying to add VPN at the router level using Adguard without success. I have a feeling it has been blocked at the ISP level, but before coming to this conclusion I wanted to hear from the forum experts if you have faced similar situation.

Is there a workaround? Or is there any other VPN provider alternative that works in Moscow's region?

My intention is to allow SmartTVs, Mobile phones connected at home WIFI to use YouTube, but create policies to not use VPN for *.ru websites neither regional apps such as IVI, etc.

Appreciate any guidance.

Thank you

Hello,

I have the same problem in Russia/Moscow. Trying to set up AdGuard VPN on Kenetic Hopper SE with no results. 

I had to use another popular VPN service and it works fine immediately! Unfortunately, the problem is not Keenetic, but AdGuard VPN itself.
