Router becoming unreachable
Main issues I've been having is when I set up a vpn on the router and have it enabled, after a while the router becomes unreachable as in I can't get onto it anymore and the vpn breaks.
I still get Internet and everything else is fine but if I ever want to make changes again I have to reset the router to default.
Tried importing the config before it broke and doing it again but same result, don't have anything crazy set up other than 2 ports open and dynamic dns.
I've tried checking logs before it goes 'down' but that hasn't suggested anything, done a firmware update and no difference.
like to hope to assume this isn't a known issue where I can only have dynamic dns or a vpn.ut not both

What Netgear device do you have?
What modem/gateway/ONT sits between the router and the Internet?
OpenVPN which iirc is on the advanced set up mnu
