Derping with Open VPN on Asus RT N66u On FTTC Cable ( Virgin )

[90Ninety]

We have a FTTC cable connection (Virgin media 200Mbps) , with a Hitron router/modem ( in modem only mode ) , Although we have a business package , I understand this connection shares the residential lines
We have set up the Hitron in Modem Only mode and have an Asus RT 66U router handling the network ( the hitron had problems opening ports )
I have a challenge currently getting an open VPN connection to work . We have a Qnap NAS( Linux Server ) which has its own Open VPN server ; I have tried manually opening the 1194 port on the router and connecting with the Config client file ( from open VPN ) with a client pc but no connection .
I ran a open port test , though the browser reports the port 1194 is closed . I have tried switching uPnP off and on the Asus Router , changing the port foreward destination and source IP , restarting the router but I cannot seem to get a browser to confirm that the port is open .
Now the very strange part , Asus routers come with their own VPN server which I can flick on and off and I can connect to this perfectly . The config of the Asus Open VPN , suggests that port 1194 is used , yet all of the open port tools still suggest that the port is closed .Even with the the Router's own VPN server running
I am really confused with this , any and all suggestions are appreciated

Make sure you forward the correct protocol (UDP or TCP). Also, there's an enable/disable option on the Virtual Server page, so you must also enable it.

Hi Rmerlin

On the router VPN page there is options for
UDP
TCP
Both

I remember trying all three options but , will try again

Where is the enable the 'virtual server page ' option , on which device are you referring to ?

Many thanks

On the same page where you forward port 1194 on your router (router.asus.com/Advanced_VirtualServer_Content.asp).
