So I just figured out my Asus Router AC66R can double as a VPN Server. I turned it on, set a username/password, downloaded OpenVPN, imported the client file... and it doesn't work. I only need to mask myself for torrent use and I read OpenVPN is the thing to use for that.
Since the failure of it working right away as it should have, I decided to force exceptions in windows firewall for the default port on my PC. Still nothing.
I then read that the ASUSWRT Merlin was useful so I changed my firmware to that. Still nothing... Reset everything apart from the firmware and made fresh server info and client file... still coming up short. This is what it always says when trying to connect.
