Issue with OpenVPN on RAXE300
I recently had been getting ignorable errors when connecting via OpenVPN to my RAXE300 router but apparently a recent Android app update now has broken it completely. I tried downloading the .opvn se...
My tests had been at home with my phone as a hotspot (so no connection to my home WiFi). Connecting my Chromebook and laptop to the hotspot caused the no connection issue. I then edited my phone's .opvn file and installed that with WiFi turned off - and it worked! So, I guess my issue is somehow related to use of the hotspot as the Internet connection. Not sure why but I guess I have my answer. Weirdly, using the VPN on just my phone didn't help my Chromebook connect but when I tried connecting using that app (so both the phone and Chromebook were using the VPN app) I connected instantly.
Thanks for the help but if you have any explanation as to why I had to use the app on both devices to connect I'd be all ears.
Glad you got it working. It does seems to be under odd circumstances. It may have to do with the assignment of IP addresses within the hotspot application
