Connected but no internent from iPad over VPN.

I have set up a openVPN server from my home router. The connection works fine connecting from my laptop when away from my home network. I have exported my certs and key to a .ovpn12 file in order to load into the iPad OS client

Code: Select all

openssl pkcs12 -export -in client1.pem -inkey client1.key -certfile cacert.pem -out client1-pass.ovpn12
My Profile files is the same execpt I added a <ca> section to the iPad version.

Code: Select all

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote <IP-address> 1194
float
resolv-retry infinite 
nobind
persist-key 
persist-tun 
verb 3
comp-lzo
key-direction 1

redirect-gateway def1
<ca>

-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</ca>
I am able to connect to server, however the connection is only 4B/S down and the IP is that of my iPhone from where I am sharing my connection instead of the VPN server.

I fixed it by removing comp-lzo from the my profile file.
It works with with compression from a windows computer but fails from the iPad. The compression in Advanced Settings did not have an effect, I had to remove it from the profile.
