Asus ZenWifi XT8 - Does not connect

Post by robynm » Wed Jan 17, 2024 2:21 am

Hi everyone,
I have an Asus ZenWifi XT8 Router through which I am attempting to set up a VPN. I exported the openvpn config (.ovpn) file and when I then import this config into my OpenVPN app on my Macbook Pro it does not connect.
This is the text from the log.

Code: Select all

I don't see anything overly helpful in there. I am curious if anyone has ever set up their VPN with a similar router and/or if there is anything (likely something obvious) that I need to look at. I apologize if I have not provided enough information here. I am a complete neophyte.
