I have searched everywhere for an answer and I am still at a loss. I have setup an OpenVPN host server on a windows PC on a personal network. When I initiate a connection to the server on the client it connects like normal, however the first concerning thing is the upload / download speed is in bytes and kilobytes which seems really rather slow, and when I attempt to access any website while the VPN is connected it just times out. I have searched and I kept seeing a lot of solutions to similar problems other people were having by altering the push "redirect-gateway def1" to push "redirect-gateway def". This solution hasn’t seem to do anything for me. I am really stuck and any help would be appreciated.
