I have a Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000 AC3200
It was flashed with Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r50814 std (11/06/22

I followed the instructions on the Surfshark Academy YouTube video (about a year old) "How to Set Up Surfshark VPN on DD-WRT router"

When I get to "Status" "VPN" it says "Client: RECONNECTING network-unreachable"

My router is connected to my computer via cable. No connection to the WAN port. (Do I need it to be connected to my modem for internet?)
Log files are attached.

for what it is worth "Router Status" shows "current time not available"
Time zone in basic setup is set to Europe/Berlin. Server I am trying to use is in Manchester England. I am in the USA central time zone.

What do you suggest?

Connect your WAN port to your modem. How do you expect to connect to a VPN service on the internet otherwise?

Surfshark is the only provider which can do it by magic no need for an internet connection.

But you have to say the magic words 10 times out aloud.

You need the Client Setup guide, there is also a reference about SurfShark
