    Routing & Remote Access service kills my internet connection


    Hi there,

    Here's a summary of the issue:

    Goal:
    Tweak Win 7 to forward OpenVPN traffic

    Actions:
    Start -> Right-click My Computer -> Manage
    Services
    Right-click Routing and Remote Access -> Properties -> Automatic
    Right-click Routing and Remote Access -> Start

    Source:
    https://forums.openvpn.net/topic7806.html

    Result:
    No internet!

    I'm running
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
    Router: Asus RT-N16
    Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2

    Any idea why this is happening and how I can resolve it?

    Thank you very much for your time in advance!

    If the problem is there, in command prompt:
    Code:
    ipconfig
    Code:
    route  -4  print
    post output

    openvnp client and openvpn server can connect succesfully and all works? Did you do the tweaks on openvpn server or openvpn client? Who has no internet... openvpn server or client?

    Hi there,

    Sorry embarrassing mistake! I was too quick to judge that I have no connection..got the impression from the connection icon in the system tray (picture below)

    Routing & Remote Access service kills my internet connection-no-connection-pic.jpg

    After running ping & ipconfig, I noticed that I have internet! sorry about that

    Still wondering why the icon shows as it does though!

    Thank you for your reply
