I have read other's post here, so it seems as though it should work. But...
I have repeatedly gone through all of the steps listed on R7000 admin page, as well as everything else on their site. I have tried this with Android (GS8), WIn10, and linux (Fedora 34) . I even tried opening a ticket with netgear support, (which is ongoing), but they seem to only answer my questions from a book - which are basically all of the steps I have done.
All that happens for me is that the device (phone, linux box, win10 box) waits for a response from the router, then times out. FWIW, this is the config for my android phone:
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote looney.mynetgear.com 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo
verb 5
I have set up various port forwardings on the router (ftp, ssh, vnc, etc), and they all work fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

(NOTE: I changed in the R7000 admin page, the port to 1194, which is standard; I did try it with the original 12973, tho).
