VPN configuration
Has anyone been successful in getting openvpn to work with this router?

I agree. The default for Windows has been tap since the beginning. Smartphone (both Apple and Android) do not support tap and the configuration files produced for smartphones specify tun.
(internet search for "tap vs. tun" will explain the difference)
The change is simple. In the ovpn configuration file, change "tap" to "tun" and change "12974" to "12973"
