bert269 I am running piVPN on a raspberry pi. I can access my home network via the VPN from my cell-phone, on the cell-network. Works great! When I am locally connected on my wifi with my cell-phone or on my PC connected to the LAN network, I cannot connect via the VPN to the outside web - is this working as designed? I get these TLS error messages in the Windows 10 OpenVPN (v2.5.0) client: TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity) TLS handshake failed Am I missing the whole point of OpenVPN here or is there something else I need to do to be able to access the web via VPN from my home network? I have the install log of piVPN, tcpdump outputs for each of the three scenarios as well as the OpenVPN client output from windows. Help is appreciated - thank you!
TinCanTech Try using the LAN IP address of your VPN server as the option to --remote in your client config.
bert269 Thanks for responding. I am using OpenVPN client on Windows - I took the original .ovpn file that was generated on the server and changed the --route parm from my (outside)DNS name to my piVPN's local IP addr (192.168.1.241) with the port (64808) that I defined in the piVPN setup. I stopped and started the OpenVPN client on windows, point to the new .ovpn file THAT did the trick - thank you so much!!! Why is this not specified ANYWHERE in the documentation (what I could find)? Thanks a million!
