Anyway, thought I'd provide an update.
mxnerd, you were right all along. All I had to do was change the IP range and both problems are gone.
I understood the logic behind changing the range and why it would help me resolve the conflict between the two routers. I don't quite understand why it...
I understand the logic of what you're describing mxnerd and I agree with you. I'm just not sure why I'm experiencing two different results.
Same OpenVPN server.
Same remote secondary network
Same .ovpn configuration client files on all systems I've tried it with
Works on Android phone with...
Welp. I just tested it with a Windows 10 laptop with the latest OpenVPN GUI. And just like my phone, everything works as I was hoping.
Instead of going to my friends router @ 192.168.1.1, it went to my home router. That's without having to change the subnet range.
Going to ipleak.net, and no...
Yeah, mxnerd suggested I could change my subnet to get around this.
On my phone, I am connecting through wifi when I am testing OpenVPN.
That's why I think it's a client side configuration issue. I am leaving all clients I am testing with on their default settings. The router/server settings...
Thanks.
I'll try changing the range when I get the chance. At the same time though, if I connect with my phone, I don't experience this issue at all. It goes straight to my home router. I can't pinpoint the difference. And yes, I'm connecting through wifi of course and not my mobile data.
I...
I've been using a fairly basic PPTP setup on my home router. I know it's not secure but it's the easiest to use.
Now I want to switch to OpenVPN but I can't quite get it to work the same.
My Setup:
Asus N66U with Shibby Tomato firmware with OpenVPN support
OSX laptop with Viscocity or...
thanks for the info.
I was really only thinking of using it to sync photos between my phone and laptop. I'll consider my options and try to pick the best one.
Figured it'd be nice to have a sync solution that doesn't require backing up to the cloud. I was wondering what you guys thought about BitTorrent Sync. Any security/privacy concerns with it? How well does it work for you? Things like that.
I know of one open source solution called SyncThing. I...

I have "Advertise DNS to clients" and "Respond to DNS" enabled. I'm pretty sure that refers to pushing DNS to clients.
So, I was able to get the certificates generated after I got that issue fixed.
I have the OpenVPN server and client to route all traffic through the VPN. One issue I'm having now is that I'm getting DNS leaks. I do however get the correct home IP address.
If i go to dnsleaktest.com or...
This was the index.txt error I was referring to.

I should be able to put some more time into it and get OpenVPN working then.
So, to use a different networking analogy, it'd be like using WEP on a wireless network then.
Thanks for the PPTP info...
On my home router with Tomato firmware, I have two options of setting up a VPN. I can use OpenVPN or PPTP. I'm aware that the consensus between the two is that OpenVPN is the winner by far.
However, all I'm trying to do with this is to have an encrypted tunnel to use on the rare occasion I...
Thanks for the replies. Networking isn't my strongest point.
Ideally, I would have the Unifi broadcast both networks. That way I have my router broadcasting SSID #1 on one side of the house and the Unifi broadcasting both SSID#1 and the guest network. AFAIK, it wouldn't be completely seamless...
I have Shibbys Tomato running on an Asus N66U. I recently purchased a Ubiquiti Unifi AP.
I have the 2.4ghz radio on the N66U running as my "main" wifi connection.
I have a VLAN and Virtual Wireless interface set up as a guest network.
This is how I currently have it set up

VLAN...
Thanks for the clarification!
I guess the only thing is that it can be hard to tell if security is enabled. It's not as if there's a seperate indicator light that tells you. For some powerline adapters, you can install software on a computer but other than that, you just have to assume it's...
