No web while connected to OpenVPN since rt-ac68u install

Hi everyone,

I searched through the forums and have read through as many posts as I can and I have yet to find a solution to my problem.

A little background info: I was using a linksys ea3500 for a while and was able to connect to the OpenVPN server at my office. I did not configure any settings on the router at all for the VPN to work. A few weeks ago, the ea3500 died on me so as a temporary router, I used my old linksys wrt54g. I just plugged it in and let it go. No configuration required. I simply would click on a OpenVPN desktop icon, click connect, type user/pass, and I would be good to go.

Now that I have my new RT-ac68u running the latest merlin build, I am having problems.

I am not using the OpenVPN Client page in the router settings (not sure exactly how to use it). I'm still using the icon mentioned above.

I can connect to the server and browse the files just fine. However, when I try to view a webpage, it can't connect.

I do not have access to the server config file, but I know that it is set up to allow all traffic through it. (not that I want all traffic to go through)

So.... Here's what I'd like to be able to do:

1. Connect to my office OpenVPN server to get what I need there (mainly just files).
2. Instead of routing all of my internet traffic through the office, I'd prefer to keep it local to take advantage of my higher up/down speeds.

I'm not sure what all information you guys need to help me with this, but I'm happy to provide what you need. Please just tell me how and where to get it. I'm by no means a whiz at all this stuff.

Thanks in advance!
