      Hi All,
      I want to address a issue as mentioned below in details:

      I have connected openvpn through mobile phone and I can ping my entire network but can not access any server any port even i can not do ssh to any server while if i turned on mobile hotspot and connect my laptop with the mobile hotspot and connect the same openvpn then i can easily access my any server any services.

      what could be the issues?

        When you're on site, and if your server has a keyboard and screen : connect to it.
        I'll bet it has a firewall ^^
        And I bet again : your server, as per security rules, only accepts connection coming from the local network it's connected to. And from no where else. Right ?

        Change (adapt) the server's firewall rule(s), and you'll be good.
        I suggest : don't open up 'from everybody' (which includes the entire Internet !), start by adding the tunnel network you are using when connected to your VPN.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??
