Forced to restart OpenVPN to get access to some sites!

[gh0st]

This has been going on for some while, and with no response from OVPN that is my provider for this I'll hope some ppl on the forum can sort this out...

It all ends up with err_connection_refused in Chrome for some sites, and even thou I have wiped the cache it still throws a err_connection_refused UNTIL i restart the OpenVPN service in OPNsense!

Sounds like a routing issue (maybe some route is set which overrides your OpenVPN gateway).

Nope, no route is set in OPNsense... :/

I think i used to have the same problem (using ovpn + public ip).
My issue was dns related, but then i got the related error tho.

Compare your config with mine, because current config i have had no problem since i installed it.
