NightHawk R7000 and OpenVPN on Windows 7 and 10 openvpn error 868
I have been trying to get the vpn service setup and working on the Nighthawk R7000 with clients in Windows 7 and Windows 7, I have followed the setup and check and re-checked everything appears okey....
Okey, maybe I'm not explaining myself so I'll try again, I have already gone throught the netgear setup and tested the install and the router and my computer say it is connected and functioning.
I cannot connect from any outside device not my phone, not my laptop running on a seperate internet and even my desktop running on a seperate internet so please don't provide a link to the netgear vpn setup. I am trying to connect to the vpn without success.
Maybe this will help I used the netgear ddns service which gave me a host name to use, a port id, do I create a new user name and password for the vpn or do I use the login for my desktop or can I not use the host name provided by ddns service that was provide by netgear?
Thank you for the help
Hi Badock, I am just trying to get it setup and tested before leaving home only to find out its still not working. Again like I said when testing it ask for a user name and password, is that a new user name and password for the vpn login or is it he user name and password used for logging on to the computer. Once login can I use all of the rights I have on my computer at home?
Thanks for the help
