I´m looking to create a tunnel to my local network, when away from home as I tried to point out, but maby not specific enough, and i therefore disabled my wifi only using 5g (mobilenetwork) to test this out.

 

I used openvpn on my phone with the downloaded ovpn settings from the ORBI router, which also have DDNS activated, BUT it did not connect.

The OpenVPN Connect app on my Android phone (version 3.2.6) produces a log file of the connection process (in the upper right corner of the screen on my phone).  Mine looks like this:

Does your log file show any error messages?
