No internet access when connected to OpenVPN
Hi all,
I have a Client-to-Site VPN with OpenVPN running on my TL-R605. This works perfectly fine on my iPhone, however I can only connect to local devices. Access to the internet is not working and that is annoying since I have to disconnect from the VPN to access internet resources.
I read the documentation but nothing is mentioned regarding additional configuration to access the internet.
How I configured the VPN:

@BartvdbB exactly, as u posted. Omada SDN should have a possibility to confiture DNS for VPN.
HALO TP LINK. ANY ANSWER?

Dear @pcan,
pcan wrote
my question is why TPLINK configure DNS like this?
why there is no possibilty to configure dns by myself?
And why default second DNS is 8.8.8.8?
Sorry that Omada SDN Controller doesn't support to specify the DNS at the present, as I know, it is planned to be supported in Omada Controller v5.1.
If you are able to access the remote network, but just no Internet access on the client, it's recommended to use OpenVPN GUI to connect. From our tests, using OpenVPN Connect will encounter such problem.

@Fae dear, many thanks for recommendation.
I use OpenVPN connect, but probably I do something wrong.
Could you be so kind, can u send me steps how to use it?
Ive done following:
create VPN server in R605
export file
download and installed OpenVpn connect and openvpn gui
Ive tried both.
result was same:
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.80.10(Preferred)
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.252
Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : pondelok 17. mája 2021 12:14:58
Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : utorok 17. mája 2022 12:14:57
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.80.9
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.80.1
8.8.8.8
this IP is not dns server at all.
I do something wrong?
thanks

@pcan when you create VLAN's within your omada it will by default use the x.x.x.1 as the gateway.
You can change this in the VLAN to the normal x.x.x.254
In the VPN the same philosophy has been applied.
Which is also the standard and cannot be changed.
therefore it will address the x.x.x.1 as DNS

I'm befuddled.
Can the OpenVPN server be set up so that it handles routing traffic to/from the WAN connection? My OpenVPN client connects and I can access local resources just fine, but I want my entire connection routed through my 605 router.
What I "want" is exactly what happens, by default, with an L2TP VPN server, but I can't do fun stuff like connections on demand from untrusted networks and that sort of thing on my iOS clients.
Not a DNS issue, as I've tried accessing external resources by IP and it's a non-starter. Presumably a routing issue, but I'm not sure where to start.

Not sure why this simple feature is not available / working / hard-to-setup as it is already included in the consumer router.

+1 I'd like a solution from TP-Link also. The VPN support in the omada routers is poor. I can't get any protocol (L2TP or OpenVPN) to route all traffic through my router.

I see that controller version 5.0.x is available for Windows, but it seems the latest Linux one is 4.4.x
Is the Linux release just lagging behind a little bit?

Any updates on this? I'd like to use OpenVPN to route all of my traffic through my ER router at home when I'm on sketchy wifi.
