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!
I was able to access my VPN with both Windows and with Android (Sony Xperia).
I can't remember if I had to "Run as Administrator" when I started the VPN on Windows.

Yes, I had some issues that were particular to the fact that I was connecting over VPN to an Active Directory Domain, and my own DNS server. I had to adjust the configuration of the NETGEAR-VPN adapter to specify the domain suffix, and the DNS server name. This corrected a problem wherein the machine containing the OpenVPN client could not connect to network resources, stating that no Domain Server could be found to authenticate the connected credential.
