OpenVPN on Android connects but IP doesn't change

Russel

Hello all. I have OpenVPN setup on Ubuntu 12.04 x64. When I try connecting with my Android phone or Android tablet the connection is established but my IP never changes. I do have root on both devices. I am using the OpenVPN settings app on my Android device. Any chance someone can help me troubleshoot the problem?

When I try connecting with my Android phone or Android tablet the connection is established but my IP never changes.

I will check my IP before and after the VPN connection is established and it stays the same. Below is my client config. Do you need my server config too?


client
dev tun
proto udp
remote 96.38.82.200 1194
remote mine.dyndns.info 1194
;remote my-server-2 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
mute-replay-warnings
ca ca.crt
cert TFPClient.crt
key TFPClient.key
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
verb 3
log /sdcard/openvpn/TFPopenvpn.log
;mute 20
