Hi Carcaranon,
welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
Could you tell me first, if you had configured the DynDNS? You can find the instructions here.

With kind regards,

Hi, yes I have DynDNS setup and working.
That's also seen since I get error response in the Router when I try to connect. That wouldn't be if I tried to connect to wrong external IP.
Hi Carcaranon,
did you try to restore factory setting for the Router and configure the VPN again?
Does it change something, if you change the security option (OpenVPN) from legacy to insecure?
With kind regards,
Damian
NETGEAR Team- I have tested all possible settings but I still get the same issue.
It will connect but during the handshake it stops working.
/RonnieHello @Carcaranon
can you tell me which version of the OpenVPN do you use?
Did you test the VPN with a laptop with WLAN connection?
Best regards,
