Hi,

I have a real strange issue regarding my OpenVPN on my Huawei P9 (Android v7).
Just before to summarize I want to add the fact that all others devices works correctly with my Openvpn server (Linux laptop, Huawei Honor 6, Ipad,....)

The OpenVPN apps start correctly on my Mobile phone Huawei P9, From it, I can ping all servers through the VPN.

But As soon as I want to have a web access to the server, or start an app to manage Kodi server, or others similar apps, it 's always the same "Connection failed".

When i connect my phone on the local network wifi, all the apps works correctly.
But through the openvpn nothing works, only icmp is ok.

Internet continue to works outside of the VPN.

Here my client ovpn file config:
client
dev tun
proto tcp
remote myPublicIPAddress myPortNumber
port myPortNumber
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ns-cert-type server
verb 9
auth-user-pass


If somebody has an idea , It's welcome,

I have find a solution, and it works as expected.
Just change the OVPN client apps and bingo... ;-)

Hi,

It's OpenVPN for Android by Arne Schwabe.
