Problems with VPN from Android device
Nighthawk R6900, Firmare: V1.0.1.28_1.0.21
I was recently able to set up VPN following the instructions in the router software.
Using my laptop, I am able to connect to my home VPN without difficutly.
I tried to set up OpenVPN Connect on my Android device, but have been having problems. I did see this article and followed the instructions:
https://kb.netgear.com/29783/How-do-I-use-VPN-service-on-my-Nighthawk-router-with-my-Android-device
On my Android device, when I use OpenVPN Connect, I am able to connect to the VPN, and the log file shows no obvious errors that I can find. However, when connected to the VPN, I am not able to access the internet. I can open the browser on my Android phone and connect to the home router (192.168.1.1) without a problem. However, if I try to go to a different web site, check my email, or update my twitter feed, these all fail.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
