D7000 OpenVPN stuck MANAGMENT, STATE, WAIT

[sputnik18]

Hi.

I've just bought a D7000 and set up the VPN according to the instructions.  I've gone to test this remotely on a Windows 10 PC and the connection gets stuck as below.

Mon Jun 13 09:51:32 2016 MANAGEMENT: >STATE:1465807892,RECONNECTING,tls-error,,

my OpenVPN config is;

client
dev tap
proto udp
dev-node NETGEAR-VPN
remote (myhomeserverip) 12974
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo
verb 5

I have tried putting a ; in front of the dev-node as per one other suggesting, but that didn't work.  Would anyone else have any ideas please?

Thanks.

Didn't change any router settings, just created a mynetgear DDNS and used that as opposed to my existing noip.me name and it's working.  Don't really understand why as I had tried going direct to my WAN IP address before and it failed.

Further update on my issue.

At home I changed the open VPN client to connect to 192.168.0.1 (router ip) and it worked.  It just will not work remotely, even if i bypass the DDNS and enter the WAN IP address of the router it just sticks at the same place as above and then just keeps retrying.
