Hi, I’ve finished the tutorial and I could connect to the server through my Ipad or Android in the OpenVPN app but only when I am connected to the same network otherwise it can’t connect.

Hi @rubenb114,

I take it you’ve followed this tutorial -

is that correct?

Additionally, can you specify to which network you are referring to?
