Client works OK when tethering trough phone but not on home broadband
Hi There
I am using OpenVpn to connect to my company's network from a laptop with OpenVpn client 2.4.0
I cannot connect to the network when my laptop is connected to the internet via a Vodafone home broadband.
However, I can connect if I turn my mobile phone into a hotspot and connect my laptop through this hotspot (tethering), which confirms that the config file I was given (.opvn) is correct.
Any ideas?
(I am sorry I am not a sys admin or network guy, so don't know much about the server itself)
Thanks

Hi,
I'm having this same issue but I'm connecting to the VPN server at my house that I control. I don't know what I am doing wrong and have tried several different things with no success. Looking for some help.

I'm having a similar issue. When I tether I can connect to my home VPN. When I'm on wifi anywhere it does not work.
