VPN not properly connecting?

ShivP98

Hi all,

I use OpenVPN to my AC87U from school as websites are blocked and I would like to use steam in home streaming

However, when connected to the VPN websites are still blocked and the wireless windows default icon that usually changes to a VPN icon when using tunnelbear does not change

The green notification light is on on the Open VPN, however the traffic does not seem to be directed through the VPN

Any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks for that

I am also having issues with seeing other devices on LAN

I cannot see them in windows "network" section
I think maybe something to do with the router settings?

I am not sure on how enable this

Thanks

Sorry, I can not help with your router.

You need to learn how Microsoft Networking works and why there are incompatibilities with VPN tunnels (ISO Layer 3 routed networks). (Search for WINS server)

If you need to access a network share you can usually do something like:

C:\net use x: \\windows.host.ip.address\sharename
