Same issue!! Just installed last night and spent 3 hours trying to get to work. Automatic / pptp manually (both ways).
Also my fire tv IPVanishVPN doesn’t work through the nighthawk either.

    Just got this issue resolved. It was a bug in the firmware. Go to Netgear support site and download the newest firmware hotfix. After that, toggle your NAT filtering from secured to open, then back to sercure. This should fix the issue.

      Fixed the problem for me. with RAX120 and Router Firmware Version V1.0.1.108.

      Toggle the NAT Filtering from Secured to Open back to Secured and reboot.  This corrected the PPTP VPN connection probem.
