RBR50 VPN Setup - OpenVPN Client

Have configured VPN services under Advanced. 

Using an Open VPN Client on external laptop with the configuration exported from the Orbi Router, no Luck in connecting! 

Open VPN Client complains of Certificate issue. 

 

Followed the steps from Orbi Configuraiton page. No joy !

    hmmm.  Has worked for me with Windows, Linux, and Android OpenVPN clients.  My OpenVPN client creates a connection log. Perhaps you can get your log and we can compare?

      I've since downgraded the openVPN client and its works now. 

      I think Netgear need to update their Orbi firmware to resolve the certificate issues that latest client of OpenVPN mandates.
