Xfinity blocking VPN

3

I just moved and had to get Comcast Xfinity service. They gave me a Arris Interactive, L.L.C. tg862g. Everything works fine, except I need VPN access for work. When I connect to my work's VPN all the sites no longer load stating unable to access network in Chrome.

At my previous residence I had Time Warner and had no issue with VPN, but now when I switched to Comcast I'm no longer able to connect to my work's VPN. Is there a setting in the gateway to fix this and allow VPN access. I'm looking at 10.0.0.1, but am not seeing anything dealing with VPN access.

1You would need to contact Comcast for help. There are any number of things that Comcast can do to block VPN traffic. – Ramhound – 2013-07-24T16:35:20.820

Contacting Comcast is a good idea. However, many years back when I had issues with Comcast and my VPN I contacted them. They basically said that they dont provide support for VPN issues on residential service. – Keltari – 2013-07-24T16:41:37.180

I would contact your IT department first, there may be something else going on and they're the best people to assist you in troubleshooting. – Taegost – 2013-07-24T17:13:27.820

The Comcast provided modem was the issue. I got my own and the issue was fixed.
