OpenVPN Connection Issue
Upon launching the OpenVPN client, I consistently receive the below error msg.: Thu Dec 29 18:52:21 2022 WARNING: Compression for receiving enabled. Compression has been used in the past to break...
I am never able to connect to the VPN. I do not mind any of the error msg's as long as I can connect to my VPN, which I CANNOT.
I am not sure what the missing piece is which is preventing me from connecting to the VPN. The end goal is connecting to my home network from the outside (via workplace/hotspot/etc.).
I was going to use another solution as to use a Raspberry Pi as a VPN service/server but wanted to go with the RAX70 as that service is already built in. With the Raspberry, I would have to build the hardware/software from scratch.

It appears your Verizon G1100 is blocking access to the OpenVPN server that is enabled on your RAX70.
A small amount of internet search brought up the following Verizon forum thread: https://forums.verizon.com/t5/fios-internet/using-your-own-router-with-verizon-fios/td-p/851632
The post is several years old, see attached screen snip. Suggest you join the Verizon FIOS forum and inquire about the current proper configuration for using an OpenVPN server on your own router.
