Trouble Setting Up Orbi VPN on Mac OSX

Also a bonus I discovered: you don't have to have your computer running in order for the Orbi VPN service to operate. I guess this makes sense to novices and experts alike, however for beginners, we might not have known this fact. Very nice that I can turn my computer off when leaving for an extended period of time and knowing I can connect my devices to my Orbi VPN. In fact, this is kind of a selling point over creating your own VPN Server solution that has to run on your computer. And my local devices (just not computer) can connect locally (on my WiFi) to the VPN - not sure how that is possible but that also is a bonus.
