Hi

I can connect to my VPN with my smartphone Android as picture exampel above (its not my phone picture).

It sais "connected" and some data bytes in and out is showing.

Still I cant connect to either my LAN or Internet. Nothing happens, the phone is just waiting and waiting. What do I do?

In router my settings are as picture below:

    I SOLVED IT!

     

    I'm using the function "Access Control" on my router, and had the "Block all new devices from connecting" on.
    When I changed the setting to "Allow all new devices to connect" then the VPN connected smartphone gained access to the LAN and the internet.
