I have tested all possible settings but I still get the same issue.

Hello @Carcaranon

 

can you tell me which version of the OpenVPN do you use? 

 

Did you test the VPN with a laptop with WLAN connection?

 

Best regards,

      Hello @Carcaranon

       

      would it be possible by you to test an older OpenVPN version with an older smartphone? 

       

      How does it work with a laptop via WLAN connection?
