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.
