Netgear Orbi AX6000 - Open VPN Not Connecting While on Wifi

I have enabled DDNS and OpenVPN on my Netgear Orbi AX6000 and am able to use the Open VPN Android app to connect while on my mobile network. However, as soon as I connect to the WiFi, the app can no longer connect. Has anyone been able to get it to work?

 

I've modified my .ovpn configuration file to include all the certificates but have otherwise left the default configuration. It looks like this:

client
dev tun
proto udp
sndbuf 393216
rcvbuf 393216
push "sndbuf 393216"
push "rcvbuf 393216"
remote example.mynetgear.com 12973
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo yes
verb 0

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

</ca>
<cert>

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

</cert>

      Firmware version: V4.6.3.16_2.0.51 

      ISP: BT Fibre

      ISP Modem: The fibre cable runs into a small wallmounted box which I guess is the ISP modem. I then have an RJ45 cable going into the Orbi.

        Turn OFF the RBS. Connect your mobile device to the RBR only and check.


        Is Armor or IPv6 enabled on the RBR?
