ORBI VPN and Armour

Question

I enabled VPN on my router and set up the Mynear DDNS.

This seemed simple,

I then downloaded the OPen VPN app onto my android

I then downloaded the open vpn configuration and transferred to my android device

I can ping my WAN address so I know that is correct

However, when I try to connect on the app ( Intenally on my wifi), I get waiting for server

Any suggestions?? Or do I need to be outside of the wifi?

I would post about this over on the Armor forum:https://community.netgear.com/t5/NETGEAR-Armor/bd-p/en-home-armor&nbsp;

Thank you for your help.&nbsp; I posted there as well.&nbsp; It seems that I when I turn off wifi and use cellular I can connect.&nbsp; I just wanted to check before I installed the laptop/windows version

Disable Armor as well and test.&nbsp;

Thanks.&nbsp; &nbsp;I was hesitating to mess with it while it worked.So for the record,&nbsp;1. Whether or not armor is enabled, I can connect via cell network2. Whether or not armor is enabled, I cannot connect internally with WIFI&nbsp; though it doesnt matter since I can connect without VPN.&nbsp;For the record I took out the Bitfender box 2 since I wanted to add VPN&nbsp;I know a lot of people have asked about Bitdefender box 2 versus Armor but I cant really say.&nbsp; I havent noticed any speed issues or problems with either.&nbsp;&nbsp;thanks again

1. Thanks to this board, I have set up my orbi and open VPN at House A and it seems to be working well.&nbsp; I live here during the week for a temporary job.&nbsp;2. I will now like to set this up at house B with another Orbi ( loyal netgear customer)My question is I would like to&nbsp; use the same laptop that I take back and forth and want to know how to set up a second NETGEAR Tap adapter?&nbsp;
