client connects to server but cannot ping the server

[okos]

Hi,

I am having trouble to connect to my openvpn server from a linux openvpn client (installed in debian 10). I cannot find a solution from all the available info out there. Hope someone con point me in the right direction.

I think I do connect to the openvpn because I get:

Code: Select all

ws1 nm-openvpn[6513]: [OpenVPN Server] Peer Connection Initiated with [AF_INET]2.189.89.61:1194" 

I also checked the client by trying to connect to PIA´s vpn using an ovpn file. It did work.

I can provide more info (pls ask me). This is what my client outputs BEFORE I connect to the VPN (openvpn-server):

Code: Select all

netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 enp4s0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 enp4s0

ifconfig -a
enp4s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.1.200  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.1.255
       
lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING>  mtu 65536
        inet 127.0.0.1  netmask 255.0.0.0

Now after I start the vpn client and try to connect:

Code: Select all

netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface

I reviewed again my setup and I found the error. Sorry for wasting your time.
