I am looking for similar assistance and have done quite of bit of research but not quite able to get this working.
I have a netgear r7500v2 running the Kong build from 4-4.
I have tried the tutorials, PIA site and also startup script methods but havent quite found a solution.
Has anyone been successful with OpenVPN PIA with r7500v2 or 7800?
Any help is appreciated.

For whatever reason, you aren't connecting to the server. Have you tried any of the other PIA servers in your config?
I appreciate the feedback. I have used dd-wrt before but on an older router ~4yrs back.
I think the time is an issue and I have tried a couple different ways to resolve but neither seems to be working.
Method 1:
Code:
Navigate to Setup > Basic Setup.
Under Time Settings, set:
NTP Client = Enable
Time Zone = your city (You might have to do some research to pick a city in the same timezone, if yours isn't listed.)
This is a good resource.
Server IP/Name = time.nist.gov (or another preferred time server)
Save and Apply Settings.
Method 2:
Code:
Or even easier is logging into your router via an internet browser, ie:
Quote:
192.168.1.1
Then go to Administration -> Commands and type in the Commands box:
Quote:
date 201704131830
(the format is YYYYMMDDHHMM)
Click on Run Commands and voila. Smile
The first method didnt seem to do much or at least I dont know how to check. The second I did see the time report as stated but it is not exactly the same time as current but at least same century/decade - does it need to be exact?
I tried the status of the OpenVPN again but seem to be getting similar log after setting time (or trying to) and rebooting router:
Code:
State
Client: RECONNECTING init_instance
Local Address:
Remote Address:
A bit of progress it seems on time. I disabled the NTP Client and put the date command in the startup. The log now shows:

In regard to setup, I have this router connected to the modem Netgear N600 c3700 (which is also a router but configured as just a modem now). I have the old junk router also connected to that modem - is this an issue? Both are wan to wan and neither router is connected to one another but rather both to the modem.
Sorry for the basic questions/statments... I am feeling my way through the VPN setup at the moment.
Still no luck unfortunatley. I tried a bit myself with the DNS but not as much as your recommendation. I switched the server from texas to west to california and getting similar log:

Reset the router to its defaults and go back and try it again. Only change what the instructions advise you to change, settings not mentioned should be left at their defaults.
Have you already solved your problem with the VPN and the router? Maybe it's the VPN provider, do you have a free or paid subscription to openVPN? I used always to use openVPN, but recently switched to PureVPN because I think the servers are faster and more stable.
I also got an accessible coupon code, where I could save money on the purchase. here is the link >>> they have coupon codes for some VPN providers and you can get up to 77% off with their coupon codes.
