mnhim001,
I reverted back to V1.0.12.96_2.0.45 and the VPN is now working properly...
You might want to give that a try before jumping through a bunch of hoops for Netgear support...

There isn't much configurations to do on the Netgear VPN setup page. Does anyone know what's going on? I am using OpenVPN from my Android phone.
I've changed it from UDP to TCP, and then TCP back to UDP with no luck.
I am running the VPN server on my R9000. Attached is a snip from my configuration page. Your newer RAXE500 will look a little different in the format.
How long has it been since you updated the configuration profile on your phone?
I have updated them yesterday, as well as several times when this started happening.
I do have the same settings selected as you do.
On several Android devices, we are using OpenVPN Connect version 3.3.4.
Not sure where you are connected when you are doing the testing. You cannot be connected to Wi-Fi that is part of the same network where the OpenVPN Server (on your router) is running.
- I tried it using my phones mobile data with wifi turned off. I also tried it at work, using my works wifi.
With your VPN connection established, on another device on your LAN, can you log in to your RAXE500 and see your phone as a connected device?
Have you checked the connection logs generated by the OpenVPN Connect application?
Do you use a service like No-IP for Dynamic Domain Name Server?
