Hello everyone!! I have had the OpenVpn app set up on my Android phone for some time with no issues... Until now. The app will not connect... Here's the cliff notes of what the app's log files are showing:

*Connecting to...
*Connection_Timeout
*Discounted
*Tunnel bytes per CPU second: 0
*OpenVPN Stop

The only thing I can think of that may causing the issues is that I updated the firmware on my router. I just cannot remember if the issue of not being able to log in started after the update

Appreciate your time for any help or suggestions.
 
You’re sure your IP address hasn’t changed?

I didn't think of that... I'm not sure and cannot check right now as I am away from the network. I'm a total noob to this networking stuff, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the DDNS I set up in my router prevent IP changing issues?
 
Yes in theory

If it just started after the router update I’d look there first then..

If it did fail after that update, perhaps the new firmware involved a reset before reboot that now mandates a new certificate.
