Hi all,
I have a Windows 7 Server with an OpenVPN Server made for redirecting all internet traffic through. I have that set up -- the internet is accessible with ICS on -- but I've run into an interesting issue.
When ICS is enabled -- and by that, I mean enabled for
any NIC, not just the Windows TAP adapter, the client is unable to ping the server. I really have no idea why this is happening -- I highly doubt it's a firewall issue, as the issue is consistent even when Windows Firewall is completely disabled -- and could really use some help.
Here's the setup:
Server:
port 8888
proto udp
dev tun
ca "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\keys\\ca.crt"
cert "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\keys\\server.crt"
key "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\keys\\server.key"
dh "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\keys\\dh2048.pem"
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp-udp.txt
push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"
push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8"
push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.4.4"
client-to-client
keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status-udp.log
verb 4
Client:
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote ###.#.#.## 8888
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert JonaK-Surface.crt
key JonaK-Surface.key
remote-cert-tls server
comp-lzo
verb 4
route-method exe
route-delay 2
Client is running Windows 10, Server is running Windows 7. This has been tried both on the same LAN and through a mobile network. Same behavior every time.
