Thanks for the video - one correction or error message you could add. Server Instance Protocol to be selected as "UDP (IPv4)" selecting on UDP pushes IPv6 which caused an error that there is no solution on the internet.
I need your help. I have Ubuntu 18.04 on my laptop and it has a VPN settings configured on it. This OpenVPN Its managed through pfsense. Split Tunnelling is enabled on the VPN server but it seems my local system is missing some configuration which is causing it to not work Now my query is that when I connect to this VPN I connect to my work network & I am able to work inside it, but this disconnects the internet connectivity that is working on my base machine (Ubuntu 18.04) I want the internet to be working on my base system & also I should be able to connect to my work network Can you please tell me what settings I need to do on my laptop VPN to make this work. Kindly help. There are these 2 entries in my vpn client configuration file which I think is related to the split tunnel, which should allow split tunnel to work on my client machine but it still does not work route-nopull route 255.255.255.255
I apologize for not seeing your comment earlier. It seems that it was filtered out by the UA-cam comment filter. I have not used pfsense for a while, but on OPNSense, if you are not selecting "routing all traffic through the tunnel" and not set the DNS server to your local DNS server. Then you should be able to connect to the internet. 2 things could explain why you didn't get the internet connection. 1. is all traffic is forced to route through VPN tunnel, which would require NAT or Interface for VPN server on your local network. 2. you are pushing local DNS server to your remote machine without tunneling it (your remote machine received the local DNS server, but not your DNS server is not accessible due to split tunneling). Change DNS server to public one like quad9 or cloudflare DNS server.
No mater what I do, client cannot see server. Always getting server poll timeout. Followed the guide perfectly. Started from scratch a second time. Tried different ports, tried different vpn server address's. Nothing. Used to be simple, but now this new instance setup seems convoluted. I may just resort to using remote desktop to a computer in my network.
@@sysadmin102 that's what I thought. Went over them so many times. The only thing I could think of that isn't mentioned in your video, is does having my outbound set to hybrid cause any issues?

Sounds like firewall rules issues. Check your rules
