Hi gaziou,

1. What is the MAC OS version of your computer?

2. Have you tried a different computer with different OS version?

    Hi gaziou,
    
    Are the devices the runs the OpenVPN connected to the R7000 or outside the network? Make sure the devices are connected outside the R7000 network for it to work.
