R7350 VPN not generating OVPN file

AC2400 not including OVPN files for OpenVPN access via Debian LInux laptop

Currently trying to set up the Nighthawk AC2400 (R7350) to allow for OpenVPN connectivity
I've set up Dynamic DNS, and was able to confirm tracerouting back to my provider with the address created - so far, so good.

However, when I attempt to generate the VPN files needed for my clients, the selections provided are for Windows, Non-Windows, Macs, and Androids. When I select the "Non-Windows" package for my Linux clients, I notice that the "client.ovpn" file that is present in the Windows selection isn't present for the Non-Windows package.

I'm using Debian 12 for my Lenovo IdeaPad I5 laptop system to test - is anyone able to assist, or point me in the right direction? Netgear mentioned that this would work for Linux systems, which is the only reason why I bought this device.
