My post was really meant to put focus on the poor documentation from Netgear.

 

I see that I made the mistake saying that OpenVPN does not work on iStuff but that is not the case, it works just fine.

 

The issue I HAD was OpenVPN on iStuff would not connect to the Netgear router.

 

My my solution was to load to ASUS-Merlin firmware on the router. Better documented, better interface, better .opvn file generated.
