OpenVPN for Android

cah1982

So I have this set up and it works whilst on my mobile hotspot, So i thought this would work any where

I have gone to a friends house and I get, but still shows as successfull

16:49 SIGINT[hard,] received, process exiting

I have the openvpn connect on mobile and when connected to wifi this works fine can access IPs on home network

Is there a setting im missing in the routing

SIGINT with OpenVPN generally means it received a signal to stop. Like when you press ctrl+c during a console session running the program, or if a management program tells OpenVPN to "please stop". So this is really not saying much other than "OpenVPN was told to stop".

From what I can guess, you might have an OpenVPN server running in your local network, so it works when you're on your wifi, but when you leave your home, your server is unreachable? Just a guess though, we don't have much to go on here.

It was working and has been for years on OpenVPN connect app, but my new Google TV OS stick, has to run OpenVPN for Android

I think Ive figured it out and changed some cypher settings and removed some obsolete settings

But it would actually be connected could go on google.com etc. but then trying to access a IP on home network it thinks that IP should be on the guest network, as the IP range is similar

I found a setting that said pass all network through VPN and this allowed me to connect to devices on home network, i have added the bellow for devices I need on home network

push "route xxx.xxx.x.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

to the config server file for the device I want to access on home server.

So will get to test it this weekend, Im guessing mobile automatically routes all traffic through VPN as it works on wifi at the same place and it could access webpage

cah1982 had the same issues and then used the shieldway VPN (supports wireguard) for my Google TV stick and i am so happy with it.

OpenVPN for Android is a useful option for people who want more control over their VPN connections on mobile devices. I appreciate how important clear setup instructions and troubleshooting tips are, especially for users dealing with connection errors or configuration issues. Sharing details about the Android version, VPN protocol, and log messages can also make it much easier for others to offer helpful advice. For a quick break after troubleshooting, Slope is a fun browser game worth trying.
