Here's how to Set up NordVPN OpenVPN on Netgear router. Get NordVPN@ https://nordvpn.sjv.io/c/376211/570073/7452.

i. Here are some common issues that can occur when using a Netgear router with a VPN:

- Port forwarding not set up correctly - For the VPN connection to work properly, you need to forward the correct ports (usually UDP 1194 and TCP 443 for OpenVPN) to the device running the VPN server. Double check the port forwarding rules are configured correctly in the Netgear router.

- VPN passthrough not enabled - Many Netgear routers have a VPN passthrough or IPsec passthrough setting that needs to be enabled to allow VPN tunnel data to pass through the router. Check this setting is turned on.

- Firewall rules blocking VPN - The firewall in the Netgear router may be blocking the connection to the VPN server. Add firewall exceptions to allow the IP address and ports of the VPN server.

- VPN IP address conflict - The VPN subnet IP range could be overlapping with the LAN IP range of the router and cause conflicts. Change the IP ranges to separate subnets.

- VPN client software incompatible - Some VPN client software does not play well with certain Netgear router models. Try a different VPN client if connection issues persist.

- QoS settings interfering - Quality of Service settings that prioritize traffic could negatively impact VPN performance. Try disabling QoS on the router.

- Outdated router firmware - Old router firmware can have VPN bugs. Check for and install the latest firmware update from Netgear.

So in summary, double check the port forwarding, firewall, IP settings, VPN client, and update the Netgear firmware to resolve common VPN problems. Refer to the router admin interface and manuals for specific configuration instructions.
