      I've been having issues with open VPN for a while now but that's not why I'm here....

      I can connect to the VPN server from both windows and Android sucsesfuley.

      I am able to ping sites on the Internet (google.com) as well as IP addresses within my local network (both dhcp and static ones).

      despite this, if I go to a web console hosted in my network (for example proxmox GUI) I just get a connexion time-out error (or some other thing)

      some websites, like eBay, fail to load correctly see picture:

      whereas others work just fine

      the rest of this post is some log files and screenshots for you. I would appreciate your help thank you very much in advance.

      EDIT: just as a quick note, as far as I can tell my configuration is pretty much stock (other than basic configuration to give Internet access) this is not a new install though so I may be wrong
