Hi all

I have a AC68U with the the latest beta of 374.43. I've just set up an OpenVPN server but am having some issues connecting to the internet when I connect with my iPhone.

I've enabled push LAN, redirect internet, respond to DNS, & advertise DNS.

If I disable redirect internet then I can access the internet but the traffic is not going via the VPN.

Any ideas in what I should be looking at?

Thanks :)

Are you connecting via cell or Wifi? Are you on John's fork?
 
Are you using the client specific options? Might need to enable it for your iPhone if you haven't already.
 
No client specific options. Username and password authentication which is working fine. The iPhone connects to the VPN without problems.

Could it be something to do with routes?
 
I tried disabling the "Advertise DNS to clients" option and now I can connect to the internet. I then re-enabled the same option and it works!!!

I'm not sure why???
