I wasn't getting internet activity, but I just switched my VPN configuration (disabled the selected configuration in LuCI and then stopped it), and then enabled and started another existing configuration. Now I have access.
So, either it was the VPN server itself, or maybe I needed to restart the OpenVPN service?
Thanks for putting time into this.
It wasn't the server, because I'm now connected to it with the same configuration.
I don't know why it wouldn't have been working, but glad the restart of the service helped. Test it out for a while and make sure it is working robustly (and you should be able to see if the tunnel goes down in the logs if/when your internet stops working). If it is not working well over time, copy the log info into a post here and describe the symptoms.
Will do. Thanks again.
