I created an Open VPN server on my TPLink-AC1200 and am trying to connect my GL-AXT1800 to it as a client. However I am getting the follow error on the GL-AXT1800 when trying to enable OpenVPN connection.
Here are my OpenVPN server settings:
Service Type: UDP (I also tried TCP)
Service Port: 1194
Client Access: Internet and Home Network
I generate the certificate and loaded the config file in the GL router
Error when trying to Start the VPN connection:

It appears that the port is NOT reachable. On my PC that is on the WLAN via my TPlink router, I ran powershell and tested two ports, 80 and 1194. 80 was a success, and 1194 was a fail. How do I make the port reachable?
