I am trying to set up an OpenVPN server using the built-in feature that my Asus router has for doing so. I have been able to get it working within my network, but I am not able to access it outside of my network.
Here is what I see when I try to connect from outside of my network:
Sat Jan 21 19:57:39 2017 OpenVPN 2.4.0 x86_64-w64-mingw32 [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [PKCS11] [AEAD] built on Dec 27 2016

I would have expected that the router would have done the necessary port-forwarding on its own, but since it apparently hasn't, I tried setting it up like this:
That does not seem to work either. What is wrong? What do I need to do? I have tried adding 1194 under the "Local Port" setting, but that has not achieved anything. I have also tried using the IP address "127.0.0.1" in place of "192.168.1.1" but to no avail.
