Hi All, Thanks for having me.
Recently purchased a Nighthawk R7000 for the built in VPN and mostly the speed. I absolutely love the unit. In fact so much that I left the firmware stock and chose not to install DD-WRT. Firmware version is the latest according to Netgear updater.
I Followed the step by step feature built into the GUI for setting up OpenVPN. Here is where I am at.
OpenVPN GUI. It shows as yellowed colored icon in tray and not responding.
My box is Windows 7 64 dell lap-top connected wireless to the nighthawk and trying to create a secure tunnel for road access. Also was hoping to use a connected 3TB hard drive as a cloud storage for our iPhones but first things first.
