ORBI VPN and Armour
I enabled VPN on my router and set up the Mynear DDNS.
This seemed simple,
I then downloaded the OPen VPN app onto my android
I then downloaded the open vpn configuration and transferred to my android device
I can ping my WAN address so I know that is correct
However, when I try to connect on the app ( Intenally on my wifi), I get waiting for server
Any suggestions?? Or do I need to be outside of the wifi?

Re: ORBI VPN and Armour
Thank you for your help. I posted there as well. It seems that I when I turn off wifi and use cellular I can connect. I just wanted to check before I installed the laptop/windows version

Re: ORBI VPN and Armour
Thanks. I was hesitating to mess with it while it worked.
So for the record,
1. Whether or not armor is enabled, I can connect via cell network
2. Whether or not armor is enabled, I cannot connect internally with WIFI though it doesnt matter since I can connect without VPN.
For the record I took out the Bitfender box 2 since I wanted to add VPN
I know a lot of people have asked about Bitdefender box 2 versus Armor but I cant really say. I havent noticed any speed issues or problems with either.
thanks again

Re: ORBI VPN and Armour: Update 2 house and 2 ORBI and tap adapter
1. Thanks to this board, I have set up my orbi and open VPN at House A and it seems to be working well. I live here during the week for a temporary job.
2. I will now like to set this up at house B with another Orbi ( loyal netgear customer)
My question is I would like to use the same laptop that I take back and forth and want to know how to set up a second NETGEAR Tap adapter?

Re: ORBI VPN and Armour: Update 2 house and 2 ORBI and tap adapter
thanks. DO I need to change the name of the TAP adapter? Will they both need to be named Netgear?

No sure about that. You might change the name anyways and give an intuitive name so you know what the adapter is and it's location.
