Using openVPN connect

Finos

Hello everyone ,

i successfully created a OVPN tunnel on my home so i can connect to it via a remote computer and android phones.

For my my work we use OpenVPN connect app to login to the companys servers , and i thought i could inport a 2nd profile to the app (the one i downloaded from pfsense client export .

But , every time i connect to my personal vpn from my windows macine i no longer can browse the internet ( as if i have no dns setup ) , but i can ping my home network .

gateway Redirect is off
and
Force DNS cache update is on

So , im asking for advice , what could i do , since oVPN GUI and Connect cannot Live alongside as my work IT departmet informed me , i Have to keep one .

Thanks in advance !

Do you connect using the same user account simultaneously for both, Windows and OpenVPN connect?

So not clear, what Windows OpenVPN GUI has to do OpenVPN connect.

Are you running both connections, home and office, on on Windows simultaneously?

to be clear , my issue is that when im connecting to my home VPN using oVPN connect
from my PC -> DNS breaks down , and i cannot browse the internet .

if i use oVPN GUI (downloaded from withing pfsense ) everything works .

but i cannot use the GUI version , cos i have to have multiple profiles imported . (Home& work)
