I'm about to try creating a VPN (OpenVPN) server on my AC86U and expect needing to try a number of configurations before I get what I want. Is there a way to delete an instance of a VPN server without doing a factory reset? (The answer may be obvious once I've gone through the process, but I'd like to know before I start.) I notice that 2 instances are supported (at least under Merlin 384.14.2) but I expect I'll need more than 2 attempts.
If the instance cannot be deleted, can the configuration be changed an a new client definition be exported? If the answer is "Yes", are there options that cannot be changed?
The client is going to live on a laptop running Windows with internet connectivity provided by a tethered cell phone on an AT&T network. Windows, AT&T, and my ignorance may dictate changing my initial attempts at configuring the server.
Things that I may need to change:

Things that I may need to change:
- Client VPN access (If Windows lets me use the VPN client to access my LAN and an Ethernet port to access everything else, I want "LAN only", but I suspect I will have to use the VPN for internet access.)
- OpenVPN port (although I don't think AT&T blocks this)
- VPN subnet (My ignorance. Is my LAN's subnet NATed to this?)
