Hey everyone - I am trying to setup my local router with an OpenVPN connection.
It is a Netgear 6220 and has all of the configuration to use OpenVPN. Heres what I've done so far:
1) Created a server name using Noip.com and entered the server name into the Netgear Dynamic DNS configuration page.
2) Enabled the VPN service on the router.
3) Downloaded the smartphone setup files ( client_phone.ovpn, ca.crt, client.key, client.crt )
4) Transferred the smartphone setup files to IOS using iTUNEs fileshare.
5) Started OpenVPN and imported the setup files. The results showed successful.
6) turned off the wifi and tried to enable the connection.
7) See the following error in the log file:
Transport Error: DNS resolve error on '<servername>' for UDP session: DNS/RRset does not exist
It appears that my Dynamic DNS is not working is my guess but I'm really not certain how to check this out. Anyone have experience with this who can give some guidance?
Also - In order for this to work must I setup a port forwarding rule in the router or is that not necessary?
Thanks for your help!
