VPN Connected but no Internet connection

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.)

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.
