Client works OK when tethering trough phone but not on home broadband

chrisduff

Hi There

I am using OpenVpn to connect to my company's network from a laptop with OpenVpn client 2.4.0

I cannot connect to the network when my laptop is connected to the internet via a Vodafone home broadband.

However, I can connect if I turn my mobile phone into a hotspot and connect my laptop through this hotspot (tethering), which confirms that the config file I was given (.opvn) is correct.

Any ideas?

(I am sorry I am not a sys admin or network guy, so don't know much about the server itself)

Thanks

Is the openvpn server located in your home ?

No, the VPN server is in my company's office

Hi,

I'm having this same issue but I'm connecting to the VPN server at my house that I control. I don't know what I am doing wrong and have tried several different things with no success. Looking for some help.

I'm having a similar issue. When I tether I can connect to my home VPN. When I'm on wifi anywhere it does not work.
