Ubuntu 18.04 OpenVpn client cannot route properly

When I try to connect to any of my OpenVPN servers, I can ping correctly through to the remote network, but any time I try to browse the net or anything else, it just times out.



I have set net.ipv4.ip_forward=1.



The route is correctly set to have default via (tunnelIP) dev tun2 proto static metric 50 as my default route...



The same exact config works on the same laptop in Windows, and other laptops in windows, and the server works just fine for phones - it seems to just be ubuntu and mint that have issues.



Can anyone help?

          Your problem sounds similar to mine (openvpn stopped workng (for me) after upgrade from Kubuntu 14.04 to 18.04)



          Adding the following lines to my client.ovpn file solved the problem in my case.



          script-security 2
          up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
          down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
