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!
Without rooting? 8-))))) Of course, OpenVPN does not require root access.
Just curious .... which [Ok] button has to be triggered on your Note 9 by using a Bluetooth keyboard (for example)?

The one in the screenshot at the solution link. Scroll to top of that thread and you'll see the details.
Oh bugger ... sorry, the in-line image hasn't loaded before on the VZ site. So the question remains why the Note 9 does not allow to click the OK. I have to use wally brain ... we had a similar thing before here on a Netgear App. But that was a similar privilege request only coming up on some rooted devices, and your Note 9 isn't. Ignore, ... I'm just happy you resolved it!
