HTTP on Android problem through OpenVPN

mgaudette

Hi,

I've been hitting a wall today trying to get a Chrome on Android (7.1) working through OpenVPN on a LTE connection (I am using the officiel Android OpenVPN client). What drives me nuts is that everything else is working as it should.

For example, the following work :

Pinging local machines with Android OpenVPN client connected
SSHing into local machines with Android OpenVPN client connected
Using OpenVPN on a PC that is using the android phone LTE connection thru a hotspot and HTTPing into local machines
Pinging, SSHing and HTTPing into local machine using OpenVPN on android connected on Wifi.

Whats not working is using the android phone on LTE and HTTPing into local machines. Chrome times out, and so does firefox. But if this was an issue with LTE being too slow, my third example (PC through hotspot) wouldn't work either. Routing is good since I can ping/SSH into stuff.

Can anyone point me in the general direction of a solution? I feel this has to do with Android's Chrome and Firefox specifically, but not sure where to start.
