Hi,
I installed Angristan OpenVPN https://github.com/Angristan/OpenVPN-install on Debain 9 and here's what happened.
1. The client connects successfully. IP is assigned and the icon turns green.
2. But the internet doesn't work except for a couple of websites. Bing opens but Google, Reddit, Yahoo etc. doesn't. I think Wikipedia also works. So there are only a handful of websites that open on VPN.
The issue is only happening on Debian 9 because I used it on Debian 7 and 8 and in both cases, VPN worked perfectly.
What is causing this issue and is there any way to resolve it?
Thanks

There is openvpn in debian statble repo, why not use it?
Re: Angristan OpenVPN doesn't work on Debian 9
Thanks, as I didn't know about this. Are you talking about this?
https://packages.debian.org/stable/net/openvpn
Is this easy to install like Angristan?

I would say it is even easier, as root:aliweb wrote:Thanks, as I didn't know about this. Are you talking about this?

Code: Select all
apt install openvpn
- p gadmin-openvpn-client - GTK+ configuration tool for openvpn (client)
p gadmin-openvpn-server - GTK+ configuration tool for openvpn (server)
p gadmin-openvpn-server-dbg - GTK+ configuration tool for openvpn (debug)
p network-manager-openvpn - network management framework (OpenVPN plugin
p network-manager-openvpn-gnome - network management framework (OpenVPN plugin
About usage, can't say because I've not used either. But in the otherhand, it is more likely you get support here and documentation is better if you use Debian version.

Perhaps all are not needed. If you like gui-versions, then gadmin-openvpn-client to client, and gadmin-openvpn-server to server.

Hello,
Had you taken thirty seconds to follow the URL that aliweb provided you would have noticed that the "Angristan VPN" s/he talks about is just a bash script dedicated to help with OpenVPN
2. it's likely an IPv4/6 issue, the easy workaround is to force your system to use exclusively IPv4 (depending on the OpenVPN version used on the server and IP address' associated with your server, you might not be able to have your OpenVPN sevrer working with both v4 and 6)
On your client, most likely, your computer (not on the server):

Because setting up, properly configuring (cypher suites, tls version,...) and maintaining (managing users among other things) an OpenVPN server is a pain in the assarzgi wrote:I would say it is even easier

1. this forum is not the right place to ask for support with the script, you should open an issue here https://github.com/Angristan/OpenVPN-install/issuesaliweb wrote:1. The client connects successfully. IP is assigned and the icon turns green.

If my workaround doesn't work, you should ask for help via the link provided on #1.sudo echo "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

Missquoting is not very polite. We were talking about installation, not configuration or usage.alexandra_m wrote:Hello,arzgi wrote:There is openvpn in debian statble repo, why not use it?Because setting up, properly configuring (cypher suites, tls version,...) and maintaining (managing users among other things) an OpenVPN server is a pain in the assarzgi wrote:I would say it is even easier

And I also mentioned gtk-versions, have you tried those?
