Routing Issue with OpenVPN Client

jm_tim

So I am trying to setup OpenVPN client on a laptop. We already are using this OpenVPN on our Server for many other laptops and desktops without any issue. I can connect to the VPN but cannot map any network drives now. All other devices are connecting properly to the VPN. I can provide client and server configs if necessary, here is a snippet of log files after connecting. Thank you!!

Why dev tap ?

1024bit is considered to be too weak .. 2048bit is the de facto standard and you would do well to follow suite.

We need logs at verb 4 .. See --log & --verb in The Manual v24x

I am not convinced you have posted the correct configs to match your logs ..

These are the only config files I have. I can connect to the Server, I just cannot map network drives. Thank you for your help

I suggest you follow the instructions given more thoroughly .. eg: logs at verb 4
