OpenVPN - Ubuntu Linux Support

 

I have a laptop running Ubuntu 20.10 and have tried several of the suggestions recommended with other Netgear routers (Orbi) and cannot get VPN to work on my Nighthawk R7000 Router. Here is the configuration file I am using (export from R7000):

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote elbongo.mynetgear.com 12973
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

 

Help is greatly appreciated! This is the export on the R7000 when I select the smartphone option which was recommended on another post in this forum.
