      You should not post your client certificate and TLS key in a public forum.

      And the server config would be more interesting than the client.

      In the server settings you have "Redirect gateway" checked, I guess?
      And again the question: Did you even state a DNS server?

        my mistake on certificate
        As I stated, I have stated dns in server settings and I am getting tunnel IP, subnet, DNS IPs and no GW in my TAP adaptor in client PC. and consequently NO internet. I can access home network.

          How do you want to access the internet?
          Do you want to pass internet traffic over the VPN, so that yor get the home WAN IP or do you want to access the home LAN and go to the internet using your local WAN (split tunneling)?

          Please post the server configuration and the clients log.

            I realize that this thread was very long to fix this issue.
            Now I managed to fix the NAT side and OPENVPN rule to pass the traffic to outbound. Now I can get internet in my connected clients.
            Thank you very much all for the advises.

              Now I managed to get full tunnel and get internet in connected devices.
              Sorry to make this a very long discussion.
              Thank you all.
              If you don't mind, could you please delete the certificate chat section in this discussion ?
