      Are you running Windows, or what? No idea what's Manjaro. Check the routing on the client. The default route needs to be via your OpenVPN when connected. Otherwise it just cannot work.

      it is an archlinux dist.
      i dont think the problems is my client.
      the only this i am able to ping is googles 8.8.8.8

      This is the log files OpenVPN-server provides me

        Sorry. When the VPN works just fine except for routing all your non-local traffic via the VPN, then the problem is most likely your client. Check the routing.

        
ip route show

            This is not a VPN server issue. You posted nothing about the client despite repeated requests. Good luck.

              I know, I could post the ip route right now but that wouldn't help because i found out the problem only was on my schools network, and i am done in the school for today so i have to wait until Monday before i can post the output

                  What are the firewall rules on the OpenVPN tab on the server?

                  DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

                      That rule you added does nothing, but those rules aren't the source of your issue.

                      Do you have NAT rules for the tunnel network of your VPN server out WAN?  I don't know if those are automatically created by automatic outbound NAT.  I would kind of doubt it.

                      What does Firewall > NAT, Outbound tab show?

                      ETA: Just checked and the tunnel network for my Remote Access server on my 2.2.2 test stack is automatically added by Automatic Outbound NAT.  Nice.

                        The outbound rules should be working ;) I checked the automatic rules aswell.
