Connection not working properly

nephilim75

Hello

I am running a Synology NAS at home and I activated OpenVPN server on it. I assigned the user privileges as well. Then I exported the settings. Synology provides 4 files:

ca.crt

ca_bundle.crt

readme.txt

VPNConfig.ovpn

I have added my server address to the *.ovpn file and I removed the # from line "redirect". I added all files to my Ubuntu (16.04 LTS) laptop. Then I downloaded the network manager to become able to add OpenVPN connections.

Now I tried to setup the VPN and selected "import saved configuration". I added username and password. Once I saved the setup I try to enable the tunnel. Linux is telling me that the connection has been established but I cannot browse to any site. The server log listed connections at those times I tried to work with the tunnel.

Any idea what I need to check or any manual for this kind of setup?

Kind regards
