I've gone through the setup steps for OpenVPN on my TP-Link router, but I am unable to access the internet or any home network devices when connected on a client. I have tried multiple VPN client applications as well as multiple web browsers. I've added configuration details below:

LAN:

IP Address: 192.168.0.1

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

DHCP Server:

DHCP Server: Enable

IP Address Pool: 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.249

Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1

OpenVPN

OpenVPN: Enable

Service Type: UDP

Service Port: 1194

VPN Subnet: 10.8.0.0

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Client Access: Internet and Home Network

OpenVPN configuration file:

client
dev tun
proto udp
float
nobind
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo adaptive
resolv-retry infinite
remote-cert-tls server
persist-key
persist-tun
remote [MY_PUBLIC_IP] 1194
[CERTIFICATES AND KEYS]

Client:

Operating system: Android 14

OpenVPN client: OpenVPN Connect

Steps taken:

1. Enabled OpenVPN and saved after entering settings above
2. Added port 1194 to NAT Forwarding->Port Triggering menu
3. Generated the certificate
4. Exported the configuration file
5. Imported the configuration file using OpenVPN Android mobile app
6. Connected to VPN server profile while using a mobile data connection

Expected results:

VPN connection succeeds and I am able to access the internet, my router's web interface page, and any other devices on my home network that I'm normally able to access while connected to my router.

Actual results:

VPN connection succeeds, but I am not able to access internet, my router's web interface page, or any other device on my home network.
