I would like to use NordVPN with the OpenVPN configuration, which retrieved using my NordVPN credentials in the GL-MT3000’s built-in feature.
However, the client kept connecting to the server but never succeeded. I am wondering what might be the issue. I’ve tried many different endpoints but no luck, and I was able to connect to the servers with the NordVPN Mac client.
Attaching detailed information for your reference.
Thanks in advance and let me know if you need more information.

Thanks for getting back, yes, I was using the non-email format login credential provided by NordVPN when the login prompt showing up, however, it was just keep connecting (yellow window) without any error. Should I get any error if the credential is incorrect? Please see the attached logs.
Btw, I was using the VPN service from Canada and United States.

I am a bit confused because the log says that the openvpn client has issues - but the log line later talks about WireGuard. Might be just some strange log acting here, maybe depening on the firmware.
Are you behind some other router which might block the necessary ports?
Thanks for the prompt reply, I am using the GL-MT3000 in a hotel and I am able to connect to a VPN server by using the Mac client provided by NordVPN. The log was retrieved from the view log link in the client section, please see the screenshot.
Wondering what is the issue from the OpenVPN client? Is there any potential solution for it?
The VPN client stuck in the following state for a long time
