Traffic does not go through for all Apps

Post by olen » Mon Jul 18, 2016 10:10 pm

Hi,

I have set up an OpenVPN server at home on Arch Linux. It appears to be working, I can connect to it from computers outside the home network.
I installed OpenVPN Connect on my Android phone and there is something strange happening: some apps are able to connect the internet, but others don't. For instance, with Facebook or Snapchat I have internet access but not with all the other apps I tried (Google Now, Chrome, Firefox, Google Maps, IMDB, ...)

Any suggestions?

Server openvpn conf:

Code: Select all

port 1096
proto tcp
dev tun0

ca /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/MY_SERVER.crt
key /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/MY_SERVER.key
dh /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/dh2048.pem

server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo
tls-auth /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/ta.key 0 
user nobody
group nobody
persist-key
persist-tun
status /var/log/openvpn-status.log
verb 3

log-append /var/log/openvpn
status /tmp/vpn.status 10
push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"
push "dhcp-option DNS 10.8.0.1"
Client conf:

Code: Select all

client
remote MY_SERVER.COM 1096
dev tun0
proto tcp
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
verb 2
user nobody
group nobody
ca ca.crt
cert Client1.crt
key Client1.key
comp-lzo
tls-auth ta.key 1

The ones I mentioned do work with VPNs, with AnyConnect VPN from my work there is no problem.
