Roycephus OpenVPN server setup in Asus router, it has DDNS support and it is setup. Dynamic IP from ISP, each time WAN IP changes on the router I need to export a new .ovpn file that has the newly leased IP. I put the DNS name in the client config and it will not connect, log below. Maybe I'm missing something in the client config, haven't been able to find it. Any guidance is appreciated.

Roycephus I don't think thats the problem though, I setup DDNS weeks ago. The IP in the log is the address of the DNS server after I do an nslookup on the DNS name (using asuscomm --> 'name'.asuscomm.com) Should I be able to connect with the DNS name in the client config, instead of the IP?
