Hi,
I´m trying to set up OpenVPN on my ASUS RT-AC66U router. Into the house I have fibre and then I have a router (not wireless) from the fibre company with 8 LAN ports. I attach the ASUS router to one of these ports via a Netgear switch.
Yesterday I logged into the ASUS router setup menu and activated OpenVPN and exported the client file to the iOS app OpenVPN, while I was connected wirelessly to the Asus router. Then it workes fine to connect to the VPN from my iPhone. However, if I turn of wifi on my iPhone or are connected to another wifi (e.g. at work) i can not access the VPN at my home network. I´m not an expert in this topic, but could you give me a hint on what to do? For info, I have tried to turn off the firewall on the Asus router with no success.
This is the log from the iPhone for one successful connection (from inside network) and one unsuccessful from (outside network).
