VPN problem

[dryfly]

I'm running Open VPN on a Asus RT-86U router, and using Hikvision IVMS-4500 software for remote viewing. I've recently developed an issue where I cannot make a VPN connection on my iPhone. While at home I can however view the cameras when connected to my network.

It's been a couple of years since I set up this VPN so I'm not real sharp on it. Before I have to completely start over can anyone give me some suggestions as to where I might look to get Open VPN remote connection back up and running.

Thanks

If you are troubleshooting from home... be sure to turn off iphone's WiFi before attempting to establish a VPN session.

Can you verify your router's WAN IP address matches the IP that your VPN client (iphone) is attempting to connect to. \

When is the last time you updated the router's firmware?

Edit: point your home computer's web browser to ipchicken dot com to easily obtain your WAN IP (public) address

I fought with an Asus RT-86U router years ago, finally got it working, then Asus changed how they did VPN / certs / keys. Never was able to make it work again. Recently switched to Tailscale and never looked back.
