[solved (for now)] OpenVPN no LAN/Internet Ubuntu, Android okay

[mark77]

Hi guys,

i'm an absolute beginner and I'm fiddling around with my VPN connection and having some issues.

My setup is as followed:
Internet -> FritzBox (exposed Host) -> pfSense

I've used the OpenVPN client export feature and put the config into my Android cellphone. From the phone I can connect to local LAN and Internet without issues. Connection stays for hours.

I've imported the config into my Linux (ubuntu) machine and I#m able to establish a connection to the OpenVPN server.
BUT:

• I'm not able to browse the internet
• I'm not able to ping an host on LAN
• If I ping a host on the internet (google.com) I get the correct IP address, but no response.
• connection closes after a couple of minutes

from the Linux log I've got the following:

Nov 11 15:51:10 iPhone8 nm-openvpn[31690]: Initialization Sequence Completed

Nov 11 15:54:09 iPhone8 nm-openvpn[31690]: [domainname] Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting

Don't get confused about the iPhone8, it just the name of the machine.

Does anyone has an idea, where I need to start digging further?

What confuses me the most is an working cellphone and a not working Linux machine.

Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Mark

Now, I'm even more confused.

I've unchecked:

Now, I can connect to local devices and the internet.

I thought, if i disable these options, my "public" IP would be the one of my cellphone I'm using as a hotspot for testing purposes, but it's not the case. So I would guess, all traffic is still beeing passed through the VPN connection.

No I have to fight my next issue:
I can only reach some of my local devices, I guess it has to do with my (inproper) VLAN setup
