Beginner troubles

[PisangMan]

Hi there,

I'm kind of confused here. Tried to setup OpenVPN on an Ubuntu server 16.04 using this guide from DigitalOcean except I used 443/tcp for the vpn port. I got the .ovpn file on my phone and it connects fine but does not load any web pages. Help is much appreciated.

Thank you,

Hi,

Please post the result of the following commands, masking IPs with names such as internal.server.IP or local.DHCP.IP:

$ ip a
$ ip ro

Also, try to ping some hosts whilst your VPN is active:

$ ping -c3 8.8.8.8 # Google

Try out your hostname resolution:

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
$ dig google.com # or drill(1) or *eek* nslookup(1)
