So I have this odd problem that just recent started.
I've been using my OpenVPN server (seperate machine) and my laptop as the client using OpenVPN GUI (tried both with 2.3.3 and 2.3.2) on Windows 7 for about 5 months now without problems.
Starting two weeks ago, I can connect to my server, but I've noticed now that when I do connect, My internet stops working (enters limited or no connectivity) and eventually the openvpn connection also disconnect because internet goes down and goes into reconnecting mode.
If I happen to connect openvpn and disconnect it before it even realizes that the internet is down. My network adapter still enters this every network is "limited or no connectivity" state. Exiting the Openvpn GUI software doesn't help change it back, nor disabling and enabling the tap-adapter, lan adapter or wireless adapter, and replugging in the cable. The only thing that fixes it is a system restart.
Tried uninstalling OpenVPN 2.3.2 and having it remove the TAP-adapter and reinstalled using the 2.3.3.
Problem still persists.
My desktop computer has no problem (also located at different location than the server).
I highly doubt that is an config issue because the configs have not changed since I initially set it up months ago.
push "redirect-gateway" is left disabled.
In the limited or no connectivity state, I can go into the ipv4 settings and manually set a DNS server. But when I do that only momentarilly will the network connection icon say connected with "internet access" for about three seconds before it reverts to the "limited or no connectivity state".
