RAX40 Can't surf the web via OpenVPN

I recently configured my RAX40 (latest firmware) with VPN service and got me a ddns.net.

I marked "all sites on the Internet & Home Network" in the VPN Service configuration because I want to surf the web, via for example google chorme, with it.

This is not working!

From www.showmyip.com Im still getting my "old" IP.

I can, however though, access my local computers and can ping my router. All this from a laptop with windows 11.

 

I've copied the configfile from my router. A pretty basic one. Pasting it below:

 

"

client
dev tap
proto udp
dev-node NETGEAR-VPN
remote xxxxxxxx.ddns.net 12974
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo
verb 5

"

 

I can see a few errors in the log. But since I've just copied the config file created by netgear it should be any problems?

But I past them below anyway
