I am running an OpenVPN server on Google Cloud. I've run servers before, on everything from a W7 PC to a Linux craptop to AWS and now GCloud. The problem I'm running into this time is that I cannot route all traffic through the VPN without partially losing connection to the Internet. What do I mean by partially? Well, when I connect to the VPN (client is a W10 PC FYI), I can't connect to any webpages or ping 8.8.8.8. Twitch chat still works, however. I assume the reason for this is that DNS is not working properly. I'll post my client and server configs, along with my results of tracert -d 8.8.8.8 when I am connected to the VPN. Feel free to ask for more info or clarification; I'm pretty sure I forgot something here.
Just before submitting this, I remember that I did forget to add something. On the server, I have enabled the NAT hack.
