OpenVPN and WAN Modem

Hello!!!
I have a little problem, when i use OpenVPN and the service is enabled i can't access my WAN modem.
WAN Modem is: 192.168.88.1
Lan is: 192.168.1.1
If i stop the OpenVPN Service i can reach the WAN Modem.
Thanks a Lot for all Your Help

Thats because you have provided a tunnel through your WAN instead of just across it. Of coarse this is assuming all your traffic is provided via the VPN..

Your situation would be much like someone using pppoe if the above is true.. You could try this method. Ive only ever had to do this on an old DSL circuit we had but it did work for that. No guarantees.
