Cannot connect OpenVPN client to Orbi VPN
I have an RBR20 with 3 sats and am attempting to manifest a VPN to use when I'm travelling. I've followed the instructions and community posts meticulously, but all I get from OpenVPN are connecting...

Success! Using the phone hotspot was the ticket. Maybe Starbucks was blocking those UDP ports, who knows?
Tomorrow I'll do some additional testing from a friend's home network, but I'm sure I'm out of the woods.
Good tip, thanks!

Correct, I have only one router.

This is the same version I have. (I made the mistake of not following the directions and got the "latest and greatest" OpenVPN and that failed miserably.)
How are you testing VPN? I disconnected my phone from WiFi and set up a HotSpot using the LTE Data Connection, and had my laptop connect to the HotSpot.
