Trying to setup openVPN connection on DECO XE75 but it stays stuck on "connecting". I have tried multiple variations,

 

1. Tried TCP connection

2. Tried rebooting deco

3. Tried multiple config files 

4. Put my modem on bridge mode

 

OpenVPN connectivity works through a PC. So config files are ok.

 

Logs on my DECO say this,
