R7000 OSX VPN not working

Followed the instructions on: http://kb.netgear.com/25389/Enabling-VPN-service-on-a-Nighthawk-router-using-a-MAC-OS-computer

 

Only getting the yellow message "waiting for server response."

 

Here is the log from Tunnelblick:

  • I actually figured it out. AT&T didn't properly set my modem in bridged mode like I'd asked them to. So the modem was giving my router a 192.168.1.x IP. 

     

    After they changed the modem settings and my router got a public IP, I'm working.

    Hi mahimahi524,

     

    1. What is the firmware version of the router? Make sure to update it.

    2. Reset the router to factory default and reconfigure. Regenerate a new certificate after the reset.
