[Solved] iOS connects but no internet access while other devices have internet access

bugsdabunny

I have been trying to get OpenVPN iOS app to connect to my home router running DD-WRT. My Mac can connect just fine with this config, but not my iPhone. It can connect but there is no internet access; meanwhile Tunnelblick on OSX has internet access. I'm still very new to this and I have been stumped after much research and experimentation with the configs. Here they are:

client
dev tun2
proto udp
remote XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 1194 #public IP removed
cipher AES-128-CBC
auth sha256
compress lzo
key-direction 1
gateway-redirect def1
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
remote-cert-tls server
float

Server:

port 1194
proto udp
cipher AES-128-CBC
auth sha256
push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0"
push "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.1.1"
push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8"
keepalive 10 120
push "redirect-gateway def1"

Firewall:

iptables -I INPUT 1 -p udp --dport 1194 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD 1 --source 192.168.1.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE

The first 4 lines of server config are actually set in the DDWRT web GUI. Router is IP address 192.168.1.1. I am at a loss and would appreciate any help.

you are using compression (bad), but it is now disabled by default in the Connect App. Check the settings and enable it if you really want to use it.

I have removed the compress line from config but it still has the same problem...

Turns out you were right about the compression, I had removed it from the configs but the web GUI on DD-WRT OpenVPN server enabled it by default, I had to go into the advanced settings and disable it there, even though the advanced settings were disabled...

I have issues with iPhone iOS and OpenVPN. I didn't want to open new thread, so I'm continuing here.

Client Device: iPhone, Open Connect 3.

After connecting to VPN, iPhone internet is gone.

The same configuration on Android, and Windows is working properly (except Windows 10, where Open Connect 3 is bad. With OpenVpn client 2.x is woorking OK).

sojic, I have the same problem. Did you find the solution?
