Can't connect via VNC after setting up VPN

Posted on May 5, 2017

I set up a VPN on my Ubuntu 16.04 droplet using the Algo scripts. I can connect to the VPN just fine, and I can use the DigitalOcean Webconsole fine. However prior to setting up the VPN, I set up a VNC server and xcfre desktop. I was able to connect to using Jump desktop fine, but as soon as I connected to the VPN I could no longer connect to my VNC.

Any help?
