darklord4real So it seems my iPhone is connected to my OpenVPN server on my Windows 7 laptop. I just need to know if its connected properly. server file: port 1723 proto udp dev tun server 10.27.0.0 255.255.255.0 ca "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\easy-rsa\\keys\\ca.crt" cert "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\easy-rsa\\keys\\server.crt" key "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\easy-rsa\\keys\\server.key" dh "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\easy-rsa\\keys\\dh1024.pem" push "redirect-gateway def1" push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8" keepalive 10 120 comp-lzo persist-key persist-tun verb 3 config file client dev tun proto udp remote a.b.c.d 1723 resolv-retry infinite nobind persist-key persist-tun ca ca.crt cert Manani5.crt key Manani5.key ns-cert-type server comp-lzo verb 3 explicit-exit-notify 2 ping 10 ping-restart 60 route-method exe route-delay 2 I am able to make the connection and able to access the internet/network(such as router settings). When I go on whatismyip.com from safari, it shows my ISP IP address which is "a.b.c.d". But shouldnt it be 10.27.0.1 which is my OpenVPN server IP? Also, I downloaded this app to ping IPs. I am able to ping all my LAN connected devices subnet (192.168.0.0) and 10.27.0.6 (iPhone VPN IP address). But I cannot ping 10.27.0.1 and my ISP IP a.b.c.d. Is that how its supposed to be? When I am on my laptop, I can ping a.b.c.d, 10.27.0.1, 10.27.0.6 and all the 192.168.0.x. Please help me. Thanks
janjust whatismyip.com will never show an 10.27 address - if routing is set up correctly it will show the same address as when you go to whatismyip.com from your openvpn server. Remote the route-method exe line from your client config - the iOS client should ignore this.
darklord4real ok so it looks like routing is done correctly because I do get the same IP address as the server. But how come I cant ping 10.27.0.1 (VPN server) from iPhone? I can ping iPhone (10.27.0.6) from my laptop(where VPN server is configured).
janjust if a ping 10.72.0.1 -> 10.72.0.6 works but ping 10.72.0.6 -> 10.72.0.1 does not then there's a firewall blocking access at the server.
