Not able to connect to home router via vpn from my iPhone
Hello,
Help please.
I have a Nighthawk AC1900 Smart Wifi Router Model R7000 running firmware 1.0.9.34.
I can't get OpenVPN client on my iPhone 8+ iOS 11.4.1 to connect to my router through ...
Assuming you had re-downloaded the VPN config and imported into the OpenVPN client since Netgear changed the certificate hash from MD5 to SHA256 method, your router DDNS is workable, and your ISP does continue to assign a public IPv4 address to your Internet connection (resp. the router WAN/Internet interface, not using IPv6 Lite or Carrier Grade NAT), and last but not least the network connection in use currently on the mobile device is not restricted by some policies (like a business WLAN might be prohibitng any kind of VPN usage for example).
Doesn't the iOS OpenVPN App have top right an icon allowing to read (and e.g Email) the OpenVPN current Log File? Convinced this might get some insight what goes wrong.
PS. Examples screeenshots are taken from a test environment, the 172.16.x.x is a RFC1918 private network - typical example of an address range not reacahbel from the Internet.
