OpenVPN connection problem on mobile network

Post by AleXSR700 » Tue Jun 09, 2020 8:00 am

Hello everyone,
I keep trying to get it to work and it has become frustrating. But I am getting closer.
I have my server setup and can connect as long as I am in my own WiFi. I am using the openvpn_remote_access_l3.ovpn file created by Softether.

But as soon as I try to use the same profile through my mobile network (4G/LTE), it fails to connect.
I have tried the IPv6 adress that OpenVPN connect displays when I connect successfully via WiFi. I tried my testname.softether.net. I tried testname.v6.softether.net.

Somehow it just won't work.

My setup:
- DS-Lite internet connection
- Cable router -> Switch -> NAS running the Softether server (Linux)

Can anybody help me?

Here are the logs created by OpenVPN Connect and by Softether. It seems that when I try to connect from my mobile network I don't even reach the server. No log is being created.
But when I connect my Windows 10 PC to my phone via Hotspot and then connect to my VPN using the Softether client, it works. So same network but Softether Windows client vs. OpenVPN Connect for Android.
By the way, SoftEther does not seem to create a new log file when I connect from my Windows 10 PC from outside the network. That's why it's missing.

Yes, but why?
I can reach it from my Windows P
Notebook and there I am using the same testname.softether.net address. But on Windows it works and on Android the network is unreachable?
Especially since I tried using my Android Hotspot from my Notebook. So clearly the server is reachable per se just not from Android or the way Android tries to reach the network.

What's the difference between the two? Why would one work but not the other?
