I have the same issue! Firmware is up to date. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the OpenVPN three times. I have re-downloaded the configuration files and replaced them three times. I spent an hour on the phone with Netgear support with no resolution! So what seems to be the problem Netgear??

        I'm also having this issue, I'm on firmware 2.2.1.210.  Can anyone provide any insight into how I can fix the issue w/ Windows 10?

         

        Works fine on Android.  I've tried downgranding OVPN to the earlier stable release, but that didn't fix the problem either.
