If this is not the correct place to post this please tell me where I should, I have tried posting this question on the website that provided the guide but have received no response in over 30 days. Here's my story and problem.
I was successful setting up a VPN server on my Pi using the guidance provided by this article (https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-vpn-server/). I am now trying to setup my Asus router running the latest version of Tomato by Shibby with its built in OpenVPN Client to connect to the remote Pi. I am having difficulty getting it going and I could use some guidance. Listed below are the settings for the Client on the router and the settings I am using in parentheses after the setting. Below the router setting are the settings used to successfully connect to the VPN server using OpenVPN's Android App and the .ovpn file it uses. If someone could review and advise.
