ZenWiFi XT8 unable to connect to OpenVPN server

Hi,

I have setup an OpenVPN server on my router a while ago and was working flawlessly. As of month ago I'm not able to connect to it in any way - from mobile or PC - and I don't know what the issue is. The OpenVPN client simply times-out and says there is no connection to the server.  I tried many many troubleshooting actions, but no luck:
- change various setting on the server config (lower encryption, TCP protocol, different port numbers, etc.) and reissue the config file

-change router DDNS settings, attempted to connect direct to the current IP of the router

-disable all kinds of firewalls and the AiProtection

- reset router to default settings

Either the service is not actually running on the router or there is some FW rule that blocks the connection.

Any ideas how  to fix this issue?

Turned out the issue was with the ISP, not the router...fixed now!
