I could not get the full vpn to work from windows unless I recreated the google VM with a new network interface with "Forwarding = ON" #64

I could not get the full vpn to work from windows unless I recreated the google VM with a new network interface with "Forwarding = ON" - The split vpn worked fine with this option off, but the full apparently needs it on, and you must do it when initially creating the VM, as it cannot be changed later... ip forwarding

I had another comment but deleted it as it was my silly mistake of forgetting : redirect-gateway def1

This is a great catch, something may have changed; I want to investigate further. I will pin this issue for now, in case it helps others.

rajannpatel commented 4 years ago

You seem to be on to something; I will update the docs shortly!

rajannpatel commented 4 years ago

I don't think you should have to do this, something else may be at play here. Are you able to confirm what your firewall rules look like? Also, what device are you setting up your VPN on (OS name, version, and VPN software name and version will be helpful here).
