Android with OpenVPN + UTM9 - No traffic passing

Costea Adrian

Hi,

I have been using UTM9 as a VPN appliance for years now with no issues until a few months ago when my Android devices can't access the network anymore. They can connect just fine, but traffic is not flowing trough the tunnel. I can't even ping the VPN gateway. On Windows devices everything is working just fine using the Sophos VPN client.

The UTM9 is behind a firewall and the proper ports are opened.

If someone has an idea, because I can't seem to figure it out. I will put the OpenVPN log here if it helps.

    Hi  ,

    Thank you for reaching out to the community, exclude the 'compress' option and re-deploy the config. 

    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,

    Thanks for getting back.

    I have searched the forum before posting and saw that by disabling compression solved the issue to some of the users. Unfortunately the problem still persists on my end, even with compression disabled. To be honest, I just enabled it for testing and got the logs.

    I have attached the logs from the UTM appliance just in case you can see something that I don't.

    Thank you,

    It is working now, even tough last week I have tested it with compression enabled and didn't work. Nothing changed, so I have no idea why it's working now.

    Much appreciate your help.
