I have an Open VPN server setup on my Netgear Wifi Router and am able to connect to it successfully from my phone over a mobile network but when I'm on the home wifi, the Open VPN client is unable to connect. How can I get the client to connect on Wifi and mobile networks?
Below is my ovpn configuration file.
client
dev tun
proto udp
sndbuf 393216
rcvbuf 393216
push "sndbuf 393216"
push "rcvbuf 393216"
remote example.mynetgear.com 12973
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo yes

From my Netgear router I get the following in the logs:
[OpenVPN, connection fail] from reomote IP address:192.168.1.12 Friday, Oct 08,2021 11:45:33
I have heard about the autolocal setting, so I tried adding the following variations to my client configuration above but couldn't get it to work.
redirect-gateway autolocal
redirect-gateway autolocal def1
redirect-gateway autolocal def1 bypass-dhcp
I also think I discovered that the Open VPN server configuration where I note that autolocal has not been added:
