Access to OpenVPN-as through broadband router.

Hi All

Hopefully a quick one, I have installed OpenVPN-as server on ubuntu on my home network, installed great and tested access from within my own network behind my broadband router and that works ok.

I then configured the router to port forward 443 to the static address of my Ubuntu server and installed the android OpenVPN Connect client, imported access server profile and targeted the dynamic DNS address of my router, it seemed to connect and retrieve a client config but when I then try and activate the tunnel it fails.

I suspect the server is responding with it's local 192.168.x.x LAN address and the android client is then attempting to connect to that address rather than the dynamic DNS address.

Has anyone seen this before or have any suggestions to fix ?

Thanks in advance

Admin UI > Server Network Settings > host name or IP address.

Update that to the correct address that your server can be reached at from the outside. Then reinstall your client certificate on your Android device.

Changed to the dynamic DNS address and worked perfectly, appreciate your taking time to respond.
thanks
