Client connects, but cannot access network (TTL)

HellRA

HI,

I deployed a ovpn CE instance on a ubuntu virtual machine using this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-and-configure-an-openvpn-server-on-ubuntu-20-04

I want the client to be able to access the network onto the OVPN CE is onto. I also want to be in split tunneling so I didn't configure any push routes.

I can Connect to the Ovpn server with the client on every platforms. BUT
I get an answer from 172.16.40.3 TTL expired everytime I try to ping anything on the network the client is remotely connected to.
tracert on client machine don't get past 172.16.40.1 (or 3)

It ''SOUNDS'' like I'm close to get it working but not sure where to look for a solution.

If it can give a hint, I've previously deployed a OVPN AS firstly and it worked flawlessly on the same devices, but I need to get OVPN CE for my purpose.

Thanks for your knowledge

Typically a TTL expiration means you have a routing loop somewhere. Check routes on each hop you get to. two of them are probably pointing to one another.
