trying to setup vpn client

[jayveesea]

I'm trying to setup vpn client on a new router, RT-AX86U Pro, Firmware:3004.388.8_4.

I've setup both OpenVPN and wireguard and I can't seem to get either to work.

Sticking with OpenVPN, I'm pretty sure the connection itself is working and I can see that it looks to be established.

and over in VPN director I have this setup using the IP of my phone for "Local IP"...

BUT, when I check my IP location on my phone it's not in the UK.

any hints on how to get this working or hot to debug? thanks!

Couple of troubleshooting suggestions.
Clear the web browser's cache.
Stop the VPN tunnel then start it again.
Disconnect the phone from the WiFi, then reconnect it.
Temporarily disable the phone's cellular data.
Do the entire IP subnet range not just one IP address. For example Local IP: 192.168.0.0/24 and test from another local client device.
