Hi,

It seems like you have not attached any images.

Could you please connect to your RUT956 via WebUI, go to System -> Administration -> Troubleshoot and download a troubleshoot file. Please, attach this file to your question by editing the question.

Kind Regards,

Andzej

Hi,

Please check if you can ping your router from your PC without OpenVPN. Connect to a different wi-fi (from which you are unable to establish a VPN connection), and try to ping your router using the IP address of your mobile interface (100.x.x.x). Are pings successful? Since your router is configured as an OpenVPN server, it needs to be reachable over the internet, but it seems like your IP address can be behind a CGNAT.

Please, let me know if it's reachable.

Kind Regards,

Andzej

Hi,

Unfortunately, when using OpenVPN, the server needs to be reachable over the internet. I recommend you take a look at ZeroTier VPN. ZeroTier can be used without a public IP. You can find a configuration example on our wiki page here.
