R7800 FW 1.0.2.90 Unable to enable VPN

If you take it as a suggestion and it does not work, interpret the other way.
For most setups I have been involved with, the end user either chose a free DDNS service like from Netgear or for reliability chose a paid service like NOIP. Some end users did have a static IP provided by their ISP with the full address, mask, and gateway details provided.

For windows computers, I use the Community Download programs. For phones/tablets with Android, use the Official OpenVPN Connect from the Play Store.
