So about a year ago, I setup an Asus Zenfi AX router with Proton VPN installed on it
Everything worked fine for almost a year, and then about a month ago I started running into connection issues
So I looked at everything and it seemed the VPN certificate was going to expire in a month, which doesn't explain the connection issues I was experieincing. But I decided to grab a new VPN certificate for another year.
I installed everything as before under Wireguard, but I'm still running into connection issues.
Sometimes my phone & computer will connect to the VPN wifi, but still having issues
I am ready to do a factory reset and just start over - but I really don't want to have to redo all of my settings, and I feel I shouldn't have to. But I've been without my VPN wifi for over a month now and I don't like it.
For my VPN settings I have:
VPN Server> Wireguard VPN turned on
VPN Fusion> Wireguard VPN enabled & connected
My Proton Certificate was properly added to the VPN settings
Any idea what could be causing me issues?
What should I do, just factory reset and redo everything? (Very frustrating to have to do this - technology is so cumbersome and complicated and should just work in 2025)

Likely a config mismatch or outdated settings rather than the certificate itself. Try re-uploading Proton’s latest WireGuard config, clear old VPN profiles in VPN Fusion, and restart the router. If issues persist, test the config on another device to confirm it’s not the router. Factory reset should be the last resort.
