Nighthawk R7000 vpn connected but nothing happens

[Nicce70]

Hi

I can connect to my VPN with my smartphone Android as picture exampel above (its not my phone picture).

It sais "connected" and some data bytes in and out is showing.

Still I cant connect to either my LAN or Internet. Nothing happens, the phone is just waiting and waiting. What do I do?

In router my settings are as picture below:

(If I use UDP the phone cant get any conntact to R7000.)

I SOLVED IT!

I'm using the function "Access Control" on my router, and had the "Block all new devices from connecting" on.
When I changed the setting to "Allow all new devices to connect" then the VPN connected smartphone gained access to the LAN and the internet.

I have an Android phone and not a Iphone. So I don't know if that is a solution for me?

Might do a search for vpn on android then:

I have no problem installing and setting this up. It's just not working when I'm done exactelly as Netgear sais. I get connected in the OpenVPN app, but I cant get any contact with LAN or Internet through the VPS connection then in the Android phone, nothing happens, its just waiting.

Anyone else who has any suggestion what is wrong? or having the same experience?
