I'm have set up an OpenVPN server on my RT-AX88U router, but I can't get clients to connect. As I have a dynamic IP from my ISP, I have registered for a DDNS account with ASUS and that is showing as being active. I have set up the user names and passwords in readiness and then exported the configuration file to my Samasung Galaxy A22 mobile. I've successfully added it to the OpenVPN app on my mobile, but it won't connect (I have remembered to disconnect the phone from my Wi-Fi). Any ideas how I can troubleshoot this? I'm uploading a screenshot of the VPN advanced in case that helps with a diagnosis. Also, here is a redacted version of what is in my VPN configuration file:-
