Trouble setting up OpenVPN server with Asus RT-N66u

I thought I'd already posted this but can't see it, so apologies if this comes up double
I'm trying to set up my Asus RT-N66u as a VPN server. The instructions seem straightforward enough, but I can't get the client to connect.
I have installed OpenVPN on the client. I have generated an OpenVPN config file and placed this in the OpenVPN config folder. So far so straightforward. I have not changed any settings in the Advanced tab. However, when I try to establish a connection it starts off with a couple of UDPv4 link local messages and then I get the following message:
[UNDEF] Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting
rinse, repeat.
Have I missed a step?

Not sure where I would find the Server config files?

Would this be sufficient for the Server settings?

and finally, the log files. They are longer but essentially they just repeat all the lines after the Password line
