OpenVPN Connection Issue

Question

Wondering if someone can help ...Got a Netgear Nighthawk AX12 that I've enabled the OpenVPN server on, using the OpenVPN GUI I can connect to the network and I get a reported connection at both ends. In the GUI on the client and in the Logs for the router. However I can't ping or access anything on the network or use the internet.&nbsp;However it does work when I first connect to another VPN providor before I connect to the OpenVPN GUIThis makes me think its an MTU issue, as I've had previous problems connecting to the internet and had to lower my WAN MTU to 1484 on the router due to my configuration with the Netgear DM200?&nbsp;Anyone have any idea's and anything I can do to my Client OpenVPN config file to make it work properly?Much appreciated,

Hi eh12,&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Just curious, have&nbsp;you tried setting the MTU to default to see if the issue persists?

&nbsp;

Thanks,
