Orbi - OpenVPN

I read the instructions on how to install the VPN on my orbi , I read the prior post on setting up the VPN, and watched a video on how to do it on you tube.

 

I made a dynamic dyns account with no-ip. 

 

 installed the latest stable version of tunnelblick

 

And yet I can;t seem to connect to my VPN. I belive the error below in the log is the issue.

I'm not sure why the orbi does not seem to have  server certificate verification. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks in advnce!

  • So I ended up paying for premium support. Turns out my problem was I didn't try testing it from another network. You can't connect to your own network with a VPN. No connection in my home. When I leave my network the VPN works flawlessly
