OpenVPN Issues on IOS and Win

VPNSecure

I'm using OpenVPN for some time and generally it is working fine, but I sometimes have issues that even after extensive searching and testing are still there.

I'm running OpenVPN at home on a NAS. Access is done from my IPhone, Laptop, IPad and other family members living elsewhere.
Problems I encounter:

- Access from my IPhone via MobileNetwork works without any issues ever since
- Using WLAN (in hotels or any other location) on IPhone I can not access devices in my home network using IP via the VPN tunnel

- Using my Laptop (Windows 10) I can not access the fritzbox at home via fritz.box, but it is possible to access by IP via the VPN tunnel. I found out that fritz.box is pointing to IP 127.0.53.53

-Using the PC from my family member (Win7) everything works.

All 3 devices use the very same client configuration. Except I installed a different certificate for the family member. I'm using the same config and certificate on all devices since I will only connect with one device at any time and do not want to over engineer.

I would be really happy if the two remaining issues could be solved, where the WLAN issue on IPhone is the one that bothers me most. If required I can post my client and server config.

Is your home network 192.169.1.0/24 or similar ? perhaps there is a network conflict ..

That looks like two problems:

can not access the fritzbox at home via fritz.box
You probably need some kind of private network name server, eg: WINS or DNS
fritz.box is pointing to IP 127.0.53.53
I doubt it does as this is a loopback address ..
Perhaps you need to setup a proper network address for it, maybe via DHCP from your home router ?
