Router info:

ER7206 v1.0

Trying to set up OPENVPN so I can VPN in to access local services like Blue Iris, Smart Home Etc. from my android and PC. I followed the instructions here:

VPN connects fine (I used the .ovpn file to set up client), but while connected my client PC has no internet and can not ping machines on the host network.

The local network I am trying to access is on 10.1.1.x

Below is the omada and client VPN settings:

And the user settings:

@SurfBikeClimb

there have been several similar problems in recent days, previously it was only mobile devices but now it also applies to PCs. look at this link, it is also possible to downgrade the PC client to solve the problem.

@MR.S i can confirm that this solved the issue on a windows client connecting to a ER7206 OpenVPN Router even today.

downgraded from 3.5.1 to 3.4.3 and suddenly it worked. kinda crazy that this is still an issue after more than 6 months
