I just got an email asking me if I had a solution to my issue. I do but it did not come from the forum. I had already performed all of the steps required to create the tunnel before I posted my question per my original post. Not finding a solution here I contacted support and was able to get the tunnel up and running. I posted this info to this thread as well. How do I close this thread?

Afraid, not aware on how to configure and/or check the Instant VPN clients on Windows or MacOS. No documentation, no downlods available - YeZ, seriously???)
Just for curiosity, there aren't the same TCP/IP subnets on both ends of the Instant VPN.

No the remote pc has a 192.168.3 address and the router has a 10.0.0 address. The User Manual says this is possible with Insight. I guess I will have to contact support.

I'm just buffed that nothing of all that is in the official documentation or the KB.- CBS-jbcbussoftNov 13, 2018Guide
If we get this working I will post the how-to.
