Hi everyone,
So I followed the steps to specify NordVPN on my now OpenWRT router and it seemed like everything works, below is the system log info regarding the connection:
Sat May 4 14:20:54 2019 daemon.notice openvpn(nordvpn)[2211]: /sbin/ifconfig tun0 10.8.1.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1500 broadcast 10.8.1.255

Sat May 4 14:21:58 2019 daemon.info dnsmasq[529]: read /etc/hosts - 4 addresses
The problem is connecting to the router provides me with my ISP IP address, not the NordVPN address.
What I'm wondering is if this is due to which port I have my ISP modem connected to - Prior to this, I was using the c2600 as a "dumb" switch, nothing more, and I just plugged in the ethernet cables wherever, do I need to specifically choose a port for the ISP modem to go into? If so, which one?
I'm including the contents of a few different files below to give some context as to my setup
