OpenVPN Support Forum

I setup openvpn server version 2.4.9-I601-Win10 on windows 10. My client can connect with openvpn server but I can't access internet.

I follow this article steps to setup.

https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenVPN/commen ... =post_body





It can work and my client get ip address 10.8.0.6 and I can ping 10.8.0.1 gateway but I can't access internet.

Both "routing and remote access" and "openvpn" service are running.

I doubt windows 10 "routing and remote access" not working but not sure.

Anyone has experience for this kind of issue when setup openvpn on win10.

OK, will use [oconf] for configuration. Just know it.

you need ip forward so it can jump from 10.8.0.0 to real ip one , without ipforward client only can ping 10.8.0.1 and 10.8.0.2 that all it can do right now

Hi 300000,

I follow this configuration to set up IP forwarding.

[Configuring The Server To Allow Traffic
This next part makes it so that your VPN sends all traffic through it

Open "regedit" and paste this text into the top address bar

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
Double click "IPEnabledRouter" and enter the value data as "1"

Now open "run" and enter "services.msc"

Find "Routing and Remote Access", right click it, go into properties and change the "Startup type" to "Automatic"

Now find "OpenVPNService", right click it, go into properties and change the "Startup type" to "Automatic"

Now go into Control Panel and navigate to "Network and Sharing Center" then click "Change Adapter Settings" on the left

Find the adapter that has "TAP" underneath it, then rename that adapter to "TAP"

Right click on your adapter that has an internet connection and go to "properties"

Select "Sharing" at the top and check the box for "Allow other network users to connect..."]

BTW, I have another issue on my openvpn server side. When I setup "Automatic" Startup type for "OpenVPNService", openvpn server can't connect but if I choose "OpenVPNSerivce" to Manual mode, I can connect openvpn server. Can't understand well!

I just test to ping. Only can ping 10.8.0.1 and can't ping 10.8.0.2 also from client side.

here is route print#

you need to find " internet connection sharing " to enable it on service so it can routing for you

interesting, sharing with TAP missing here.

[oconf=]Now go into Control Panel and navigate to "Network and Sharing Center" then click "Change Adapter Settings" on the left

Find the adapter that has "TAP" underneath it, then rename that adapter to "TAP"

Right click on your adapter that has an internet connection and go to "properties"

Select "Sharing" at the top and check the box for "Allow other network users to connect..."[/oconf]

I can't find internet connecting share then choose TAP, there is nothing there.

Finally, I google and get this document.

Name the key EnableRebootPersistConnection.
Double-click the newly created key and set the Value data to 1.
Click OK to save changes.
You can now exit Registry Editor and then, proceed to change the ICS Service Startup mode to Automatic.]

Thanks for 300000's help!!!
