Installation configuration help

[oldandtired]

Using new install of OpenVPN server on windows 10 pro; the service starts and I am able to connect to the service via the GUI on the server. As soon as I connect the server looses connectivity to the local lan. If I exit the GUI the local lan connectivity is regained. The clients can connect to the server while the GUI is connected but obviously they can't get to the local lan as there is no longer connectivity from the OpenVPN server to the local lan.

I strongly suspect that this is a simple routing configuration problem but I don't see it. I have wasted too much time trying to figure out something that I suspect will be obvious to one of you guys. Thanks for your help!

Try disabling these lines by commenting them out:

• Server config:

  Code: Select all

  push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"
  route 10.0.3.0 255.255.255.0
  push "route 10.0.3.0 255.255.255.0"
  client-to-client
  push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8"
  push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.4.4"

  Just test without these.

• Client config:

  Code: Select all

  push "route 10.0.3.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.3.2"

  Clients cannot push directives.

You may also find --topology helps (See the manual)

That helps now the server can reach the local network but the clients can not ping even the openvpn server: 10.0.3.2 they can ping 10.0.8.1
