VPN Ports Closed -> VPN Timeout

The smartphone config file already had verb 5. I tried with windows via Verizon hotspot. I had to edit the config for tun and remove lines for it to work. I have tried rebooting after changing: IPv6, UPnP, port #, traffic meter, port scanner.... I also tried erasing to no avail. I have IPv6 enabled for this test so I am not sure why it is saying false.
