OpenVPN Error TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds on my Archer VR1210v v1
Hi,
I have a problem with my Archer VR1210V, I have setup OpenVPN with Dynamic DNS on NO-IP and this service is logged correctly but when I try to connect with OpenVPN GUI V11.56.0.0 (OpenVPN v2.6.15) I receive always same error. I have reported log below.
Thanks

I have add "data-ciphers-fallback AES-128-CBC" row only to try a different way to solve my problem but without success...
