OpenVPN Server takes out Internet connectivity
-
Have a strange problem that has come up and I don't know enough about this pfSense to understand what is going on or where to look to find the problem.
I have setup an OpenVPN server on my pfSense box and have followed various online tutorials to the letter. It all seems setup as it should. The client devices I have setup for it can connect to it, but it's not routing any internet connection into it. Then I observe that the LAN access to the internet/WAN goes off line. My ethernet hardwired network computers report they lost internet access as well. Occasionally it blinks back on but every site I try and go to times out. Nothing works. As soon as I disable the OpenVPN and save it, my internet access for all local clients get internet access back.
Any idea what is going on? Where can I look to find out what is happening? Thank you.

Check you routing on the Server side. The server is most likely changing your default route for its traffic to push to the clients, instead of out to the internet.

Will do, thank you. I think I know what I am looking for.
Can you give me an idea of what diagnostic to use to see what is happening or where that routing issue might be corrected? I'm not a newbie but I'm no where near a power user yet. Thanks.
