egc: Thanks. I did get a "CONNECTED SUCCESS" log entry, but the IP address is still my own when I checked browserleaks.com. On the setup page, I used the primary router 192.168.1.1 as the "Gateway" address. I looked at the primary router setup page and found three DNS addresses that were being used. I chose the second one and put it in as "Local DNS". I corrected the time. I removed that NTP website name and left that field blank. I read that there was a default site name built into DD-WRT. I rebooted, but the time did not save. I had to reset the time again. Is there a watch battery inside the R7800 that saves settings or is this done a different way? I will backup these settings and work with them and even try other OVPN files. Thanks for your time with this. I attached my latest log entry.

Of course I do not know the setup of your primary router, but you usually set the Gateway and Local DN to the primary routers address.
Why not try that?
Perhaps an example will help.
Suppose the primary routers address is 192.168.1.1
Than you set the Gateway and Local DNS to 192.168.1.1
Reboot the router and see what syslog shows about ntp.
About the VPN, set first data cipher to:
AES-128-GCM
Second data cipher to:
AES-256-GCM
Third to:
AES-256-CBC
Remove everything from the Additional config only add:
verb 5
Seeing a Connected Success indicate you are on the right way and have a connection.
But your clients are not using the VPN as this is a WAP so either set the gateway on the client pointing to the WAP (i.e. use 192.168.1.2 as gateway) or setup a guest wifi on the WAP, clients connected to this will automatically use the VPN.
