OpenVPN Support Forum

Hello All,

I am facing OpenVPN connect with IOS 9.x ..it connected but routing function not working properly as expected..
this problem only occurs on IOS 9.x .. tried with IOS 8.x working very good.

any body experienced on this?..

please help

thanks & Regards
Win

Hi,

Would like to help, but it seems forbidden, here, to ask config files .ovpn, more than once per day, perhaps. Funny!
The admin notified me, really.

Sometimes, wrong anti spamming process is making an issue even worse )

I configure OpenVPN Connect and connect from IOS9.3.1 with no pub at all.

Hi

I able to connect but unable to route thats the problem.

Are you able to connect to VPN service (ex. Hidemyass) and route to I-net?

Could you expose your client .ovpn profile?

If you "show my ip" unconnected, and do the same when connected, are getting same IP, or 2 different?

You can use any free VPN service to evaluate this.

I have my own OpenVPN AS server, on IOS 8.x I was able to connect and route to hosts on VPN Net. Now on IOS 9.x I only able to connect but I am unable to route.

I never use Hidemyass and dont have its account.
Please help.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Different IP

I able to connect to OpenVPN AS but can't route.
The IP shown was in the range of VPN IPs.

The problem ONLY occurs on IOS9.x neither IOS8.x or lower

Google free VPN service having open VPN
Create a free user account
Setup an .ovpn or get it from this service
Connect to it using iOS 9 with the ovpn from above
Can you reach Internet and surf ok?
Google what's yip or my is or show my ip, pick one and write your ip (thus obtained thru this VPN service)
Now, disconnect, and get your ip the same way
Are these 2 ip's the same or different?

If you get the same ip, you don't route thru OpenVPN tunnel, even if link is established
Probably, the IPv6 machinery built into ios9 is forcing IPv4 traffic outside the tunnel

Please follow precisely this process, with answers, in order to analyze the issue.
Good luck!

I put:

redirect-gateway ipv6

into my client.ovpn

but still no luck!

perhaps you should start with simpler elementary config, if i may.
i would use the simplest config to focus on networking/routing and set it ok, for clarity sake.

About routing, you could read these:
http://backreference.org/2009/11/15/openvpn-and-iroute/
https://blog.remibergsma.com/2013/01/13 ... e-routing/
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/RoutedLans

Just want to share.

This problem resolved ... Thanks a lot to Johan Draaisma (OpenVPN Support).

He suggests me to add: FAVOR_LZO = 1 to as.conf

Anyway. Thanks to everyone here for helping me.
