Pine64 OpenVPN Server - Client connections not works from any place
Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2023 9:07 am
Hi all,
I describe my current scenario.
I set up a Pine64 single board computer as OpenVPN server for my home network (ArmBian OS). For this scope I used a similar version of the famous pivpn-install.sh script that can be found around GitHub repos.
Everything works as expected with just one exception.
I am able to connect remotely to my home network from my Android device using the official OpenVPN client (mobile data ISP).
I am able to connect remotely to my home network from my Dell Laptop dual booted from Windows 10 OS using the official OpenVPN client.
I am able to connect remotely to my home network from my Dell Laptop dual booted from Ubuntu 22.04 OS using the official DEB OpenVPN package () when the Dell PC is connected though hotspot connection to my smartphone.
But.... I am not able to do the same last thing, from my Ubuntu 22.04, when the PC is connected to another home network, pretty standard home network of a friend of mine, having a subscription with the same ISP provider company.
I mean, what happens is that the log messages printed after arrives to the "Initialized sequence completed" , and everything seems to works fine, indeed the OpenVPN show me that a client user is connected to my home network, but I am unable to ping other hosts connected to my home network.
I am wondering which could be the reason for this unexpected behaviour.
I am not very expert in this field, so please, ask me what you need to clarify the situation or tell me practically what I have to do to solve this unexpected issue.
Thanks in advance for your help.
