      @Derelict I know that has nothing to do with OpenVPN client connections. The problem seems to affect my WAN too. I run my whole LAN net through PIA_VPN but have rules in place to allow a few devices to bypass that PIA_VPN. They are also affected when the OpenVPN Client and OpenVPN Server are running simultaneously. I can send a status output file, but you'll need to be specific with me exactly which status file you are talking about and before sending it I would need to edit it if need be as to not expose any private info.

        Those are /24 networks, not "Class A" or "Class B" networks. If anything, they are "Class C" networks but nobody (nobody) uses classful terminology any more. Like ever.

        They are Non-standard

          Nobody uses those any more. It is all Classless (CIDR) RFC1918.

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

              I was only using this to generalize with you that there shouldn't be any conflicts between the tunnel networks.

                Well there is obviously something wrong with what you have done or it would be working.

                Pretty much at a loss to say what that is based on what we have been shown.

                I sent a private asking for a complete status output that I have yet to receive. So absent that I'm not sure what to tell you.

                  When I have both enabled, all the traffic that that goes through the OpenVPN Client suffers a dramatic decrease in bandwidth.

                    @Derelict I stepped away from the office for a moment to grab a bite to eat...I will replicate and send the log file when I get back.

                        @Derelict I was able to resolve this issue by deleting the OpenVPN Server that was created by the wizard and creating a new VPN Server and assigning it to an interface. Once that was completed, I then created rules for that interface by adding the rules on it's tab and a rule on the WAN1 tab. Then I created a NAT outbound rule for that interface and everything is working correctly now.
