Nokia N900 OpenVPN GPRS failure

Nokia N900 OpenVPN GPRS failure.

Although one is able to establish a connection with GPRS it fails to route traffic through the VPN. The same problem is not experienced when connected through Wi-Fi.
I should clarify that this is not a problem with blocked ports on the DATA provider side. Like I sated above your able to connect to your OpenVPN server. The phone itself fails to utilize the service.

Would any have some insight on the issue above?

Re: Nokia N900 OpenVPN GPRS failure

If you mean all traffic then it means the default route is not set properly. If you mean it doesn't route just the LAN traffic then maybe the server isn't pushing the proper route through as well.

It took me a bit to setup but I got it working.

My server config:

Code:

secret static.key

verb 4

local 10.0.0.1

port 11940

proto udp

dev tun1

ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2

keepalive 10 60

comp-lzo

persist-key

persist-tun

mute 2

daemon homevpn

My client config:

Code:

remote MYHOMEIP

port 11940

dev tun0

ifconfig 10.8.0.2 10.8.0.1

route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0

secret static.key

comp-lzo

verb 0

keepalive 10 60

mute 2

Hope it helps.
