I have Ubuntu 18.04 and openvpn 2.4.4. When I try to connect with the vpn I can't use the internet anymore, only the resources behind the vpn. I can't even ping 8.8.8.8 (all packets lost). Smh this only happened to me and not other people using the same script. However, this applies to 3 different devices of mine.
The following is the config content
dev tun
client
proto <tcp>
<ca> </ca>
<cert> </cert>
<key> </key>
remote-cert-eku "TLS Web Server Authentication"
remote x.x.x.x z
redirect-gateway def1
persist-key
persist-tun
verb 3
mute 20
keepalive 10 60
cipher AES-256-CBC
auth SHA512
float
reneg-sec 3660
nobind
mute-replay-warnings
auth-user-pass
;remember_connection 0
;auto_reconnect 1
I have no idea anymore what is wrong here.
I did try the following solution approach: OpenVPN connecting but no internet access on Ubuntu 16.04 / 18.04
(first response)
But it does not work. When I check the box "use connection only for resources on its network" I can access the internet but I can not access the resources on my vpn network. If I dont check that box, I cant access the internet but I can access my vpn network resources.
