I upgraded my firmware this morning. Now my router will connect to the VPN server, but I cannot browse the internet. Chrome says "Establishing Secure Connection" before it times out. I am able to ping whatever I want outside my network, but cannot browse the web. Also, games such as LoL will not connect.

Router: Netgear R6300V2
Firmware Version: DD-WRT V3.0-r37305 std (10/10/1Cool
Old Firmware Version: Not sure, but I remember it was dated in 2015 sometime.

Is there some new setting with the upgraded firmware that needs to be changed?

try this build from here...

if you do a reset, do not load settings from an old firmware, redo them manually...

When I updated the firmware, it just kept all of the old settings. Are you saying I should just do a fresh install using the new firmware instead?

When you have problems always reset to defaults and put settings in manually

Best way, telnet into your router and do: nvram erase && reboot

Things you can try: disable Shortcut Forwarding Engine on setup page.
In case you are using vpn with Policy based routing

I did what you said and erased the nvram, then manually entered my config. During the process, I was constantly checking my internet status. I found that the problem began again as soon as I entered anything into "policy based routing" in my openVPN client config. I usually have about 10 ip addresses here, as those are the only devices I want using the VPN. If I leave it empty, everything works fine. When I enter a single IP address (my PC), my PC loses the ability to browse the internet. I can still ping things outside my network though, such as google. Any ideas?

Something kind of worked. I think that what happened was I went and reread some of the replies, and I changed some of the DNS related settings as suggested earlier. At this point I wasn't restarting the modem after every change, so I'm not sure what caused the change. I restarted the router recently, and now I can browse the web while utilizing PBR. However, it has some rather interesting new symptoms. While utilizing the VPN with PBR, my browsing speed seams...choppy. I don't know how else to describe it. Also, I now have DNS Leaks (Found via https://www.expressvpn.com/dns-leak-test). If I browse the web with the PBR field empty, I have no DNS leaks.

See my signature at the bottom for a thread about PBR in that thread also information about DNS leak

Be sure to disable Shortcut Forwarding Engine. Warning is in the PBR thread.
The symptoms you had , no internet but you can ping, could be caused by SFE
