Hello Folks!
I need your help as I am stuck here
I have bought two identical routers, Netgear Nighthawk R7000 that I want to setup as main router with OpenVPN server and a portable client.
I want to use the second (portable) router for traveling to use as an OpenVPN client, so that I can stream movies and such from my NAS. I have not gotten to the client yet as I am just testing the connection to the server from a laptop with openvpn software (on a different network)
I followed the guide here http://www.howtogeek.com/60774/connect-to-your-home-network-from-anywhere-with-openvpn-and-tomato/
it was recommended to use here: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Configuring-OpenVPN
Unfortunatly I am unable to connect. At first I thought that it was because I forgot to open the port 1194 but I still get the same error. I am thinking it might still be a port problem because the program that I used to test the open port (from portforwarding.com) keeps saying that the port is not open. I also tried to disable the firewall but I still get the same error. Am I correct that I need to set "local ip" to the same ip as my routers main login page?
I am attaching some screenshots from the router admin page. I hope you can help.
