I have a Sofether server and everything is working fine when connecting via L2tp on mobile and Softether client on windows. But when I use openvpn client on windows and use the generated ovpn file from SE it connects but there's no internet access.

Same here. Both L2TP and Softether clients are able to connect, get an IP and tunnel Internet traffic. OpenVPN however is also able to connect and get an IP but no Internet traffic passes through.

Anyone discovered why this might happen?

Perhaps the problem is with the gateway itself in the subnet mask?

bouncing this up to the top. We have set up SoftEther at many of our clients and recently we started getting reports that the clients (mac mostly) do not get internet nor intranet when connecting via OpenVPN using the generated files. I have confirmed with OpenVPN connect on my windows system. Can ping 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1, but cannot ping any domain names like yahoo.com or google.com. and cannot ping the gateway for the softether server, nor the site's gateway nor any devices connected locally, nor the intranet at the site. Connect via SoftEther VPN client everything works well.

Attached are a couple screen shots of the IPConfig /all from both the OpenVPN and SoftEther clients connected to the same site.

Ok. To add more details, I have been using the OpenVPN Connect application and had been working for our various clients until recently. And in my trials and lots of errors, I installed the OpenVPN 2.4.9 from the community downloads on openvpn.net. Imported the same ovnp files used in OpenVPN Connect and I am now able to get all traffic to work (internal and external traffic). Will be testing this more.

Exactly. Both L2TP and Softether customers can associate, get an IP and passage Internet traffic. OpenVPN, be that as it may, is additionally ready to associate and get an IP yet no Internet traffic goes through.

When I tested the issue was with OpenVPN connect itself. I used a thrid party OpenVPN client and there was no issues. This is only for OpenVPN connect on Windows. Android's OpenVPN Connect works great.

Hi, on your local PC client, open Network and sharing center

1. Right click on the VPN adapter, select properties
2. Open properties on TCP/IP V4
3. Click Advanced
4. Click to place a check mark on Auto Metric
5. OK all the way out
6. Disconnect the VPN
7. Reconnect the VPN
8. Enjoy!
