I'm working with OpenVPN on an Amazon free tier EC2 instance. I used the RoadWarrior script to set it up quickly, and everything seems to function properly. However, when my client connects to the VPN, I lose internet access. My goal was to create a free, fast VPN with a firewall to block certain traffic. I'm looking for advice—anyone experienced with this situation has any tips? My tunnel appears correct, the DNS works fine, and the connection works on the client side, but I can't get online. Have others encountered similar issues before? Thanks.

I resolved the issue. Wow, this VPN is incredibly fast—almost as if there isn’t one at all. With it connected, a ping to Google drops to 67ms. HOT DAY! Now I’m thinking about adding POHLE.
