Hi, thanks for your reply. I am logging into the settings screen of my home router using the Chrome browser on my phone, URL is 192.168.1.1, user id is "Admin". So, when I click Apply I am still in the browser of my phone and I can still access the settings, but I can no longer access the Internet.

When connected over VPN, you should be able to access the router configuration pages as well as access the internet.  With a VPN connection established, your phone is assigned a local IP address just like you were connected over your home Wi-Fi.

How is your phone connected to the internet when this happens?  Is your phone connected to the internet through cell data?  Is your phone connected to the internet through your home Wi-Fi?  Is your phone connected to the internet through Wi-Fi at a location outside your home?

When you are on your phone, have you started the OpenVPN application and established a connection to your home network?

When you configure the VPN on your router, there is an option to connect with access to your LAN only or to your LAN plus all sites on the internet.  How do you have that configured?

Is your phone on the Android operating system or on iOS?

Have you established and configured a Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS)?

I know it is a lot of questions.  There are a lot of variables to make the VPN service function.
