R9000 VPN not working.
My VPN was working fine before I had the 2.4ghz channel stop sending a SSID. Restored router to original settings then setup the same way before. 2.4ghz is back but now VPN is not working. I re downlo...

Swapped router today for a new one and setup everything the same except Plex Media Server. VPN is now working perfectly on iPhone and no issues with 2.4ghz channel. Hopefully I will not have any issues with this unit. If I do I will change brands and not look back. Thanks for those of you who offered help.
StephenB I also did that along with trying 10 different configs with different ports etc. I used to use VMware to run a OpenVPN access server on my desktop along with plex media server. I wanted an all in one solution is the reason I switched from a linksys ea9500. I have a theory that IPv6 routing maybe the cause of my headache as ATT has recently been deploying in their network. I have also tried using OpenDNS and Google DNS servers to rule out DNS conflicts.

Frankly, I'm not surprised - you've been quite thorough. I just threw it out there just in case.

Could be.
Does your router still have an ipv4 wan address? Can you ping if over the internet using its ddns name?
Does Plex still work over the internet?
StephenB,
Yes, my ISP has not upgraded to IPv6 yet, and I can ping my ddns name successfully.
Maybe try some other service (open a port for an FTP server on the desktop perhaps), and see if that routes successfully. If it does, it seems to me that would say that the internet routing to the R9000 isn't the issue.
