How long after you set up Dynamic DNS does the custom host name propagate for OpenVPN?
Just wondering the above. I followed the documentation to set up OpenVPN on my BR500 and am trying to connect to it from a Galaxy Note9 on Verizon using the OpenVPN client within the space of an hour...
a. The latest one from the Play Store, 3.0.5
b. I have a Wi-Fi-only Samsung Galaxy S5 that runs Lineage OS 16.0 (Android Pie.) I turned off Wi-Fi on my Note9 and then activated the mobile hotspot feature. I then connected the S5 to the Note9's hotspot, and was able to connect to OpenVPN that way. Seems like the problem may lie with the Note9
c. 5.6.0.1
Thanks for your help!
Welp, I pinged the custom host name and it worked, so clearly something is horribly wrong with how the BR500 handles OpenVPN.
