Hello!
I'm trying to get my OpenVPN AS to work on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
I've installed openvpn-as-1.8.4-Ubuntu10.i386.deb
I have only one NIC. The server is behiend NAT.
The client can connect to VPN and can reach the private network but not internet.
I guess there is something wrong with the iptable route or something.
(This is my first post here, sorry for my bad english. If you want more info just ask.)

Re: VPN Connected but no Internet connection
Try this while connected to the Access Server:
ping 8.8.8.8
If that works and you see a response, try this:
ping www.google.com
If that produces an error, you should adjust your DNS settings on the Access Server. A common fix is to go to the Access Server's Admin UI and going to 'VPN Settings'. At the bottom there are settings to push a DNS server to the VPN client. Set it to push specific DNS servers, and push the DNS server 8.8.8.8, this is a public DNS server. Then try again.
ping 8.8.8.8

I'm still alive, just posting under the openvpn_inc alias now as part of a larger group.
