|
Hello, all.
I previously posted about my exact setup here: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=315360&highlight=
So I'm using the same exact setup but back in the US at a second location. Everything connects through my old as dirt D-Link DIR-825 DD-WRT OpenVPN client router. Roku, Logi Circle cam, Smartthings, Pixel 2 XL Android phone running the latest Pie, all work great, connect to the internet just fine. But I absolutely cannot get my Windows 10 Pro laptop to connect to the internet through the OpenVPN client. Connects to the router just fine, but says there is no internet access.
I don't know whether I connected with a Windows 10 setup in Mexico....I was using a Chromebook, but I think someone else connected through Win 10 but I'm not sure. I haven't yet tried the Chromebook to connect (will do tomorrow).
I tried disabling all Windows firewalls and anti-virus. I'm sure it's something small and stupid, but it's frustrating. I suspect it's something with Windows, but I'm not sure.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. |

And, once again, it was something stupid and I figured it out on my own.
I needed to change my DNS settings from automatic to something else. Set them to Google's DNS IPs, and everything works fine. |
