System - Router Access change the HTTPS port used by the router to something other than 443

So far I'm having only partial success. I've installed Gargoyle on a Netgear WNDR4300 router, setup OpenVPN server, and setup a client using Tunnelblick on a Mac. I can connect to the server but can't reach the internet. I can ping the gateway and other devices on the local network, but can't ping anything outside the gateway.

I also get several warning messages in the Tunnelblick log file which are listed below. I'm using mostly the default configuration from Gargoyle. Any advice on how I can reach the internet and how to address the warnings below?

Thanks,

This may mean that your VPN is not configured correctly.

If you get it up and running. Move away from blowfish too.
All of the warnings you encountered are fixed in the latest versions. But they aren’t likely causing your issues here (maybe)

The only thing that may be causing you an issue is “vpn_gateway” which some clients need (mostly iPhones and androids).
After a bit of googling that may be the issue. Worth reading this thread viewtopic.php?t=3806
