Archer VX1800v OpenVPN Client Won't Connect To NordVPN

Model: Archer VX1800v

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 0.13.0 2.0.0 v6092.0 Build 240925 Rel.11089n

Hi,

I'm attempting to configure an OpenVPN Client to connect to NordVPN, the connection status gets stuck on 'connecting'.

I can connect to NordVPN using the same configuration, username/password settings from my desktop using OpenVPN directly.

I have tried multiple servers, switching between UDP, TCP etc. results never change.

I have tried using the latest firmware and the 'datecode' firmware linked in this very similar thread.

I'm out of ideas, can anyone help? Looks like it's a common problem with this router.

Turns out that the linked 'datecode' firmware didn't install properly. Reinstalling it fixed the problem.
