Hi there,
I have followed this guide to connect to my router as a client to a VPN (using Windscribe): https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/openvpn/client
It seems it connects but I have no internet. I have tried many guides to make it work with no luck. This topic is very similar but the potential solutions didn't work for me: OpenVPN Client connects but no Internet
My setup:
Archer C7 v2, openwrt 18.06.2 r7676-cddd7b4c77
I have restarted the router several times, starting from scratch without success. I don't know what else I can try.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards
