OpenVPN Client Configuration for PIA on ReadyNAS 102

Hi All, I have been trawling the inter-webs to get help with my issue below. I am hoping someone here will be my savior. I have tried OpenVPN and PIA forums, but no love.

I have a readynas 102 I want to put behind a VPN provided by Private Internet Access. I followed the following thread to install and configure and it was working great. To get it running at startup I think I used the "update-rc.d startvpn.sh defaults" option because the crontab file doesn't seem to be used on the readynas for some reason. I left the command in the crontab anyway I think.

About a week ago I logged into transmission and files were coming down super slow, if at all, and dropped into the "error" bucket of torrents. I putty'd in and opened lynx to see if the NAS had internet access. That seems to vary. Sometimes it works sometimes not. I tried turning off and on again a few times to restart the service but the problem persists. I even tried starting manually. this is what I get...

and then it just sits there. I don't get my command prompt back so I stopped it and got

Thu Apr 30 19:18:26 2015 SIGINT[hard,] received, process exiting

ifconfig shows the tunnel is created. For some reason nothing seems to get to the outside world.

I'm not much of a command line warrior so any help on how to diagnose this better or any solution would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
