Hi CrimpOn,

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I did try that but now OpenVPN v3 gives me this error message:

The dev-node refers to "NETGEAR-VPN" and I do have a VPN network connection in my list of connections with this name.

Okay, did some more testing based on the last reply. 

I removed the dev-node and set the "dev" parameter to "tun".

Now I can connect using OpenVPN v3 however, I cannot access any website (no internet) or my home network.

So some progress but not there yet. đŸ˜
