Help ! OpenVPN , Ubuntu install 22.04 - Working intermittant

[Toro2222]

I need help here, going mad.
Got to fix, wife is frustrated.


Working OpenVPN installation stopped working.
I can connect to the server, and access the server from client.
I can not route from server to i.e. Internet.

Clients should have all traffic directed through the VPN.

So, here is the twist.. without changing anything.. it will work for some seconds.. then not...

Please help.
