Hello all,
I have an openVPN server running on a Linux machine inside my local network. I am currently ABLE to ping websites when I connect as a client on a separate Linux machine. However, I am UNABLE to ping certain websites when I run my client on windows (I am connecting via openVPN Connect). Does anyone know where things may be going wrong based on my configuration or why I cannot ping some websites when connected as a windows client to this server? Thank you for any feedback or assistance. Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide.
