Get Connection But No Internet on Samsung phone
I am a complete newbie so please be patient as don't now the terminology or may not be providing all the details for you to help me solve my problems.
Problem:
Using OpenVPN client and I can connect to my home router but Internet doesn't work (can't browse, getting DNS error message).
I use T-Mobile and phone is a Galaxy Note 3 with latest OS available. It is not rooted. Router is Netgear R7000 with latest firmware.
Other data points: I set up OpenVPN for Windows 7 64 bit and it works fine. Was tested using the same phone and enabling T-Mobile wireless hotspot.

Re: Get Connection But No Internet on Samsung phone
Per the OpenVPN log on my phone:
Error parsing IPv4 route: [route] [192.168.1.1] [255.255.255.0] [192.168.1.1]: tun_prop_error: route is not canonical
Per webpage when try to access a site: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN is the DNS error message
Same problem found on NG support page: https://community.netgear.com/t5/DSL-Mo ... -p/1137484
But NG is too LAME. Note its over the moderator's head.

Re: Get Connection But No Internet on Samsung phone
Don't assume I know what I am doing. I am good at Googling but I have no idea how to fix it. Can you do a step by step instruction for me? Seems its just a workaround?

Re: Get Connection But No Internet on Samsung phone
By the way I modified the OpenVPN file as discussed on the NG forum and while that eliminated the error message I still got the DNS error. Connection was OK.

At least post your log files.
See --log & --verb in The Manual v24x
And I strongly recommend you read the entire HOWTO. (See my previous link)

I resolved the problem. It was setting issue specific to my router.
