@Tomsuser2

More information needed about what you are attempting to do and how you are making that attempt.

Make and model router (or modem/router if being used)?

Is there some sort of script or code involved?

What specific problem or problems are being encountered?

I had hoped someone saw something or the original poster would have updated a bit.

I know little about this but it seems that a vpn session might have established at least part way. You see it assign a tunnel IP 10.103.0.36.

There then is a 15 minute gap with a bunch of messages that mean nothing to me.

Hi
I will use this behind a livebox 4 (france) modem router with fiber 0.4 G
My second router is a r7000 netgear with openvpn express vpn
The livebox has a dedicated port to pass on

You followed the instruction here? And why not contact ExpressVPN tech support?

It appears that the displayed support email address is being entered into the Client logs for some reason so I will no longer redact that email address.

And will likewise no longer edit what may be Public IP addresses. Those IP addresses should not be posted; however, that will be left to @Tomsuser2 .

= = = =

That said, I am now wondering about the subnet masking. I.e., the /notations present in the logs - not sure about some of them

I did note 255.255.0.0 in one of the log entries and that entry seemed out of context.

Are there any user defined scripts being used?

Also noted the "mutes" and references to "CMD" state and status. What is, if anything, being muted and not shown?

Continuing pattern:

Well out of my comfort zone here and in agreement with @cruisetung.

I would expect that ExpressVPN tech support should be able to analyze and explain the log entries as necessary. Plus provide the necessary corrections, fixes, etc..

The 255.255.0.0 mask is something the VPN service provider is setting on the ips it is using on the tunnel end points. Not sure why they are doing this. Generally these are things that are negotiated when the vpn opens. Generally unless you run the server and the client you leave all this set so the ISP can control these type of settings.

I have not manually set one of these up in so many years I have forgotten what all this stuff means. If I had to guess this is acting like there is some issue with the account the tunnel activates and might even pass traffic but something is blocking it. So like other recommend maybe expressvpn has a idea.
