What to do if OpenVPN is not working in Linux?
There is a straightforward way to follow if OpenVPN is not working in Linux.
- First, ensure that OpenVPN is configured and the package is installed correctly. You should install additional packages, such as network-manager-openvpn and network-manager-openvpn-gnome, to enable OpenVPN support in Network Manager.
- If the connection is established but you still cannot access the internet or specific resources, you may need to manually add routes.
- For example, to direct traffic through the OpenVPN server, use the command’ ip route add default via ip_address_of_vpn_server’.
- Then, check your firewall settings and ensure they are not blocking the connection.
