So I just had an interesting issue.
The issue was originally on my android, but it might also be affected in Windows... I haven't tested that yet.
I recently changed my VPN settings to be more secure. I was having issues where I could connect to my OpenVPN server just fine, but no data would transfer across except for very specific things.
I could connect fine, but couldn't access email, websites, cctv, the gateway to my endpoint, etc... I could access file share on my server, however.
I have two VPNs in two different locations, both configured exactly the same, except for port being used for the VPN. One worked perfectly fine, the other did not, that made it more confusing...
After some head and chin scratching, come to find out the issue is because my config file specifies my IP versus name.For shits and grins, I decided to test by name and voila! data worked again!
And no, my IP from the config file wasn't wrong.So do me a favor and try (if you can) to change your config file to name, versus IP. See if that does it for you.
