My laptop can connect the router RAX70 via Open VPN from public Internet, but cannot obtain IP addre
Dear ALL,
After I enabled the VPN serivce in the router, and intalled the Open VPN client from my laptop, intalled the certifate, import the configure client.ovpn, well prepared the DHCP IP pools & renamed the adapter to "NETGEAR-VPN". From public Internet, my laptop can connect the OpenVPN, and it is connected to the router successfully according to the router log. But the laptop can't obtain the IP address from the router for the adapter "NETGEAR-VPN". I tried below two firmware versions and no luck. Pleae advice next step. Thanks!
Firmware 1 of the router RAX70: RAX70-V1.0.13.128 Firmware 2 of the router RAX70: RAX70-V1.0.15.146

Configuring a TAP or TUN from the RAX70?
In case of using TAP - which does establish a network bridge between the computer and the RAX70 LAN - keep in mind this requires to different networks on both ends of the connection. This could prohibit getting DHCP address (served by the remote RAX70).

Dear ALL,
The network of the router is 192.168.1.x and the client is using the IP from the network 192.168.2.x. But I received the log "Warning: route gateway is not reachable on any active network adapters: 192.168.1.1" once connected to OpenVPN. And I did not find any blocked device from the Security / Access Control of the RAX70. Please advice next step. Thanks!

Wild guess, on the local computer where you try to establish the OpenVPN connection from. Typical cause is when the software bridge can't be loaded or activated.
Was this OpenVPN set-up workable before, or is this all new?
The other location you are trying to establish a connection to does have a routeable, public IPV4 address, too?
Please post the complete log from the OpenVPN GUI, right click, under the connection you find something like a "Show Log". Edit the public IP address as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx before posting please.
