Hi everyone, After I spent the last hours trying to find an answer to this issue, I gave up and decided to ask the question. Here is my configuration: [list]Lubuntu 16.04 installation 64bit Lenovo Thinkpad Laptop (I mention this because I read somewhere intel wireless cards can have issues with vpn?) OpenVPN client installed (latest version) Configured for use with NordVPN as per various guides (using NordVPN's ovpn files Nothing else installed that would appear to be relevant mentioning.[/list] [b]Without[/b] the VPN, all is just fine (data up and and download working) [b]With[/b] the VPN enabled, download is fine (at quite amazing speed, really), but upload is 0 through speedtest.net and other upload test sites. I haven't changed any firewall settings from when I did a fresh lubuntu install, but installing gufw, a GUI for the UFW firewall that comes with lubuntu, the setup is as expected: incoming DENY, outgoing ALLOW. I am using the 1194 port for NordVPN and the corresponding ovpn files. Having looked at the screenshots as to how to configure the vpn, I am at complete loss. Would appreciate if anybody had any ideas what I could be doing wrong.. Thanks, John

Hi everyone,

After I spent the last hours trying to find an answer to this issue, I gave up and decided to ask the question. Here is my configuration:

Lubuntu 16.04 installation 64bit
Lenovo Thinkpad Laptop (I mention this because I read somewhere intel wireless cards can have issues with vpn?)
OpenVPN client installed (latest version)
Configured for use with NordVPN as per various guides (using NordVPN's ovpn files
Nothing else installed that would appear to be relevant mentioning.

Without the VPN, all is just fine (data up and and download working)
With the VPN enabled, download is fine (at quite amazing speed, really), but upload is 0 through speedtest.net and other upload test sites.

I haven't changed any firewall settings from when I did a fresh lubuntu install, but installing gufw, a GUI for the UFW firewall that comes with lubuntu, the setup is as expected: incoming DENY, outgoing ALLOW.

I am using the 1194 port for NordVPN and the corresponding ovpn files. Having looked at the screenshots as to how to configure the vpn, I am at complete loss. Would appreciate if anybody had any ideas what I could be doing wrong..

Thanks, John
