Hey, welcome to the forum!

What VPN provider are you using? Are you entering the OpenVPN configuration files manually? 

[LBFS]

I am using Private Internet Access. I downloaded the config files from their site and copied them into the setup on the R2

[Netduma Fraser]

Just to check, you are entering your PIA username and password in? Could you provide the OpenVPN configuration file you're using please?

[LBFS]

Yes I am. Here is the config file

UK London.ovpn

[Netduma Fraser]

Try using this config instead and see if it works:

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote uk-london.privateinternetaccess.com 1198
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
cipher aes-128-cbc
auth sha1
tls-client
remote-cert-tls server
auth-user-pass
auth-nocache
comp-lzo
verb 1
reneg-sec 0
ca ca.rsa.2048.crt

Could you ask PIA if they have an OpenVPN configuration file for OpenVPN version 2.3.4 and see if that works please?
