The VPN may not be working on the TP-Link Archer AX12 router despite supporting PPTP VPN due to the following reasons:

1. ISP Restrictions – Some ISPs block PPTP VPN connections, preventing them from establishing.
2. Security Limitations – PPTP VPN has weak security, making it vulnerable to packet interception, which may cause connection issues.
3. Incorrect Configuration – The VPN settings might not be properly configured in the router's interface under "Advanced > NAT Forwarding > VPN."
4. Network Environment – If the router is in a restricted network (e.g., a campus or corporate network), PPTP connections may be blocked.
5. Device Compatibility – Although PPTP VPN is supported by most operating systems, some devices may not work correctly due to software or security settings.

To resolve the issue, consider using OpenVPN, which offers better security and stability.
