I'm having an issue with the OpenVPN server that I can't quite figure out. I'm connecting from my iPhone and the phone connections just fine and I can ping ip addresses on my LAN, but if I try to access web sites of any LAN devices (including the router), it just times out. I'm fairly certain this used to work, though I can't remember the last time I tried it.

Any idea what's going on here?

How do you have the iphones OVPN app configured to handle DNS. It sounds like you can't resolve local names.

It shouldn't matter since I'm using the ip address of the LAN devices.

For example going to http:/192.168.1.1 simply times out, but pinging 192.168.1.1 responds.
