I am attempting to use the OpenVPN software from the router to connect remotely using a VPN. I have turned off my local firewall and anti-virus software to remove that from the equation. I am getting the error:
Wed Oct 31 10:01:20 2018 us=15196 read UDP: Unknown error (code=10054)
I am connecting from a Windows machine and this appears to be a connection reset message. I tried to connect to my router remotely and it fails with a connection reset when I use HTTP. If I use HTTPS, it works. I think the same thing is happening to the VPN connection. It is being reset instead of connecting. Is there a forwarding port that needs to be set? Is there another setting that needs to be cleared/set? I am able to open port 3389 and remote desktop to my machine without any issues. I just can't get the VPN software and configuration provided by the router to make a connection. I have rebooted the router multiple times. I have a dyndns.org entry and that is working. I am at wits end.

I have solved the issue. I turned off remote management, but that did not seem to help. I changed the VPN to use TCP for tap. This did the trick and I am able to connect to my network. I have not turned remote management on, so I can't eliminate it from being part of the solution.
