ANSWERED Successful OpenVPN connection on Synology, but no traffic

Recommended Posts

Hi,
 
I exactly followed all steps for creating a VPN on Synology. I have established a successful VPN connection - which is visible on in my AirVPN client area > overview page. The thing is that I cannot access the internet (Download Manager) - even ping (using putty) is not responding after having made the VPN connection.
Btw - I deliberatly did not (yet) make any portforwarding changes, as I wanted to see if something as simple as this would work.
Because I thought it might be a firewall issue, I temporary disabled my router firewall - no luck.
 
Hope you could get me in the right direction...
 
Netstat before and after making VPN connection.

SOLVED

 

I later found out that a direct ping to an IP-address did work, therefore it had to be the DNS that was misconfigured.

What did work is: putting the DNS Server of AirVPN as the Alternative DNS Server of Synology diskstation.

 

Hereby the steps:

- Alternative DNS Server: you can find it in Control Panel > Network > General

- DNS of yourVPN provider (in our case AirVPN): 1) in Windows, start cmd 2) ipconfig /all 3) Look for the DNS Server under the TAP-Windows Adapter properties.

 

Good luck!

Marc
