okay, this thing is finicky! Got the Openvpn connection working to my home network/ac 5300... I had to repack the ovpn file from the 5300 to NOT Cipher Negotiate in VPN server advanced settings... evidently the Openvpn version used on the AX11000 is not the 2.4 update. So I got things to work but the latency is so bad that I have to look at other options. I suspect the 5300 just doesn't have the horsepower to be a VPN sled.
Tried setting up expressvpn in VPN Fusion and anytime it is activated it shuts the internet connection down regardless of the exception list or default server selection. I suspect there is something upsetting in the opvn file that the AX11000 doesn't want to play nice with. ExpressVPN customer support while trying to be helpful didn't have any ideas other than manually changing the DNS servers to 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2. Will have to try that another time... if I muck up the internet again tonight the wife will kill me! LOL
