Hi,

I setup an openVPN server on my clearOS box with just routing local traffic so I could watch CCTV cameras outside the network without opening ports.
The connection is fairly stable when I am in a different town working off either mobile data or wifi. however when I am within range of the local wifi network (but wifi disabled. connected to 4G mobile data) the VPN connects (even to the local cameras) but doesn't load the video stream.

At first I thought it was the mobile data speed but a speed test shows 30 mbps and we have had no problems loading the cameras with ports open.
I would like to stay away from routing all traffic through the server.

ClearOS: 7
HTC One OpenVPN Connect Android

I can't find the Server log files, I've checked /var/log but nothing relates to OpenVPN.

I'm not sure where the Android Openvpn log files are either.
Let me know if you need any more information.

Ricky.

Are you sure ? check your log file.

See --log & --verb in The Manual v23x

Good spot that was the version ClearOS reported but the logs say OpenVPN 2.3.13 x86_64 redhat-linux-gnu.

I changed to config file to generate a log file. What am I looking for in the logs?
