With the VPN service on netgear routers, there is no need to do any port formwarding asthe router will automatically configure things for you.
If you use DDNS just be sure to set that up first, and when the router is able to successfully update the DDNS entry. then on the VPN page
the only settings you need to worry about is whether you want to allos VPN clients to access just the LAN or if you want them to also access the internet through the VPN.

They list instructions for multiple different clients
You will likely need to unzip the config file since it needs to access the .ovpn file.
