VPN Service Help
Was wondering if anyone can help! My vpn service is not work at all! No matter which port I try udp or tcp! Open vpn can't seems too connect at all! I worked when I first got the orbi but now it's not...
i do think think the ports are open also, now heres the thing, how do i open them? this service is done by the orbi router, i cant port forward 192.168.1.1, so thats where am confused.
When you go through the process of enabling the OpenVPN service on the Orbi, that should open the necessry ports. The details are written to a config file that needs to be loaded on your client machine.
I use OpenVPN on my Mac, iPad, Linux, and another router, but I haven't set it up on my Orbi, because I use it as an Access Point only.
here is a pic of my vpn settings i have tried changing port num, or even port types! when i switch to tcp and connected via my wifi (locally) it works if i get off it and switch to my cellphone LTE, it doesnt connect!! so something is blocking my ports as i suspected and yes i download the new config files each time i have changed the settings but still doesnt connect.
Sorry, I cannot see the picture for some reason. it's just a yellow triangle.
You can scan your system at the following website and see what ports are open. Try both UDP and TCP scans.

If you want me to scan your ports and tell you if 1194 is open, send me an IM with your domain name.
