R7000 Can't connect to OpenVPN, Firmware 1.0.4.30

[rldoose]

Not sure why, but the drop down does not have my model # which is R7000 not R6900.

I have been thoure the OpenVPN setup instrutions to use OpenVPN on the R7000 multipe times.  It seems really straight forward.....

However, I can't connect.  Firmware is latest as of 4/7/2016 (1.0.4.30), and I have tried rebooting the router.  

Final messare in the log is:  MANAGEMENT: >STATE:1460134043,WAIT,,,

Congig and Logfile below.

Any guidance would be very appreciated!

Thanks!  I got it working. With new router, whole house network upgrade, and FreeNAS installation, I don't even recall what solvered this issue, but it works great!

Perhaps try the beta fw 1.0.5.60?
