I have Mullvad VPN account. I wanted to set up an OpenVPN Client on my deco x20 router.

I exported the config for Android from mullvads website and use a/c number as username and letter 'm' as password (per mullvad instructions).

However, the vpn always just says 'connecting'. I have tried this config in the standalone OpenVPN for Android app on my android phone and it connects and stays connected.

I signed up for surfshark in the Deco app and that connects successfully and stays connected. (just a trial which i will cancel).

Note I have tried changing connection protocol in openvpn file from udp to tcp and changing port to 443 but that didn't work either.

Was hoping someone could review the  below or direct me to how i could see logs on the deco router.

Here is the openvpn config (.ovpn format):

client
dev tun
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
verb 3
remote-cert-tls server
ping 10
ping-restart 60
sndbuf 524288
rcvbuf 524288
cipher AES-256-GCM
tls-cipher TLS-DHE-RSA-WITH-AES-256-GCM-SHA384
proto udp
auth-user-pass
reneg-sec 0
fast-io
remote-random
