I am new to these routers so forgive me if I'm doing a rookie mistake.
I have my GL-inet router connected to the hotel wifi network and all my devices in the room work.
But I would like to access TV programmes back in the UK and have accessed my NordVPN account from the openVPN in the router, selecting one of the many options in the list. When I start the VPN via the 3 dots I can see a yellow dot on the left that never turns green.
What am I doing wrong, please?
