In our company, we now established a **OpenVPN** connection to a remote network infrastructure.
Here comes the **problem**:
I'm accessing the VPN with the same machine (OS is Arch) from 2 networks. From both I can flawlessly connect to the VPN. But only in one of those, I can access the internet.
Do you have a clue, what the reason could be, that the rerouting of the traffic is network-dependent? And how can I fix it?
The network, where the internet doesn't work is my private one, so I have complete control over it. On the OpenVPN server conf, I have little influence (would need to call our sys admin), but the conf I'll add here!
This is my `user.conf`
client
dev tun
remote 52.136.xxx.xxx 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
user nobody
group nobody
persist-key
persist-tun
remote-cert-tls server
cipher AES-256-CBC
verb 3
I think, the IP routes as well as the netstat log might be helpful for finding the error (from within my local network, where internet doesnt work while connected to the VPN):
`ip route` without VPN (internet works):
