New setup on Asus RT-AC86U WAN not working

ed9tho

Hi,
With pretty much default settings. Works just fine from my Iphone as long as Im on WIFI localy but , as soon as Im trying to connect from WAN side it doesn't work. I have tried to disable firewall on router and also tried to setup Port forward but I don't understand what I should forward to, is that WAN side or LAN side of router or what? Also tried to setup Port trigger but nothing helps. Also wounder if I will reach all my computers on my LAN that uses 192.168.0.x even if I get IP from VPN that starts with 10.8.0.x? If not should I change in VPN settings to use same IP as LAN?
As it's most important to just reach one server is it better just to setup VPN directely on the server instead of on the router?
Please advice!

Conf file looks like this:

remote xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxx
float
nobind
proto udp
dev tun
sndbuf 0
rcvbuf 0
keepalive 10 30
comp-lzo adaptive
auth-user-pass
client
auth SHA1
cipher AES-128-CBC
remote-cert-tls server

Openvpn works but your network is not configured correctly.

Port Forward on your router and allow this port on your server firewall.
