Okay, so this is probably a long one.
I'm setting up a raspberry Pi as a home vpn server, the connection always fails with the error "TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds". The OpenVPN website is telling me this is likely because of a port forwarding failure.
When I go on the BT Hub control panel, and try and set up a port forwarding rule, the local IP address it gives for the Pi is different to the one I use to connect. The Hub gives it as .176, whereas if I try and connect on .176 it fails, however if I use .175 it works fine. Problem is, I can't change it on the hub control panel, or at least, I don't think I can.
As well as that, I'm not 100% sure on what I'm doing (always been more of a hardware than networking kind of guy). I need to open port 1194, and have tried to set up a rule to do that, but every Portscannng website says that it, and all the other ports on my pc are closed. I know that that isn't true, as I can connect and use the internet just fine, so I'm not sure what that means.
I've tried opening 1194 in windows firewall both in/outbound, but that hasn't worked either.
TL;DR
-Smarthub says Pi Local IP is different to the one I use to connect to it
-I have no idea how port forwarding is meant to work
Thanks in advance!
