So I can connect just fine however the vpn doesnt work and shows 0 tunnel traffic.
However it works on any other network except for my own home network.
I had a openvpn server at home and thought that was the cause so I shut down the server and removed the portforwarding rule on my moden. Since the AWS troubleshooting guide is no help I thought i would try here.
So anyone had the same problem or know of some setting i need have on or off in my modem to have it work ?
Does your AWS VPC subnet overlap with your local?
It might be security groups. Check the sg settings for your vpn
Also as addition it does assign an ip adress just fine and on the aws vpn server side everything looks connected and goos as well but still 0 traffic
Well no and i just found something even weirder.
So my macbook connects to the vpn everywhere but only in my home network there goes 0 traffic over the tunnel. But my windows laptop does work with traffic over the tunnel.
So windows laptop:
-works everywhere with traffic over tunnel including my home network
But macbook:
-works everywhere with traffic over tunnel except for my homenetwork
The macbook is brand new and i just updated it to a new major mac os version but still nothing
Reviving this old thread, did you ever figure this out? I have a similar issue but instead it isn’t working just at my co-working space. It works at home and everywhere else fine.
In my case changing my dns server to google did the trick.
Dang, I’ve already tried that and it didn’t work. Everything in the logs show a successful connection but as soon as it connect successfully, access to the internet completely dies. There has to be something messing with it at the co-working space on their end.
This worked for me! I had to enable IPv6 and use Google’s IPv6 DNS. Thanks!
I changed to IPv6 and using Google’s IPv6 DNS and it worked for me. But my problem was RDS related not vpn.
No problem glad it still helps people cause these issues can be a pain in the *ss to figure out
The issue was the firewall at the coworking space where they fought me for over a month telling me it wasn’t an issue on their side and the more I pushed back the more they got annoyed and finally discovered the Firewall wasn’t on the latest firmware and didn’t have logging turned on
