After running few minutes, my router crashes and it restarts.

I see many lines of the following error on the log after disconnection.

write UDPv4: Can't assign requested address (code=49)

I tried this on terminal, but it didn't solve the issue.
sudo ifconfig en1 down
sudo route flush
sudo ifconfig en1 up

What could be the issue?

Hi twoxbasic,

I'd recommend getting in touch with your VPN Provider in this instance - it sounds likely you have a configuration issue. Please also be aware that it's essentially impossible for Viscosity to cause a normal router to crash: most likely there is a routing clash between your local network and the remote VPN network routes that are cause the local network to become inaccessible. For information on who your VPN Provider is please see:
