OpenVPN Support Forum

Hello, I come with a problem with my own dedicated server, I installed Ubuntu 20.04 on it, with Virtualmin panel, and everything works perfectly, only the problem is that my internet provider has dynamic IP and each time the router restarts the IP changes, so I installed OpenVPN client on my server to which I connected with the data from NordVPN, I added the ports to the firewall in UFW only now, after I am connected and receive the new IP of at VPN, no port works, 53, 25, SSH, nothing, if I disconnect from VPN, everything returns to normal and the ports work. From what can it be, do I still have to set up something else, or can’t I use a VPN client?

NordVPN will push --redirect-gateway to you and that is what breaks your machine being a server.

In Settings, select Network & internet > VPN.
Next to the VPN connection you want to use, select Connect.
If you're prompted, enter your username and password or other sign-in info.

James
