    so annoyed rn i set up OpenVPN for our small team. the connection establishes, handshake looks good, but no traffic gets to the intranet wiki:

    pings to internal IPs time out. im suree the server side is running. what am i overlooking?

    the server and client configs were copied from a guide, adjusted for our network... the tunnel clearly comes up, so keys and ports seem fine. smth after that point is wrong, but i cant tell what. im about to throw this thing out the window lol

    been there man MTU issues cause connects but big things hang: pings work, websites half-load, file copies stall, lower the tunnel MTU (WireGuard MTU = 1380, for example) and test with ping -f -l 1350 <ip> on Windows to find teh working size.

    separate routing from DNS. try the internal IP directly: if teh IP works but the name fails, its DNS. check which DNS servers are in use while connected (ipconfig /all on Windows, resolvectl status on Linux, scutil --dns on macOS).

    Hotel and guest networks sometimes block UDP or specific ports. If the client calims connected but no handshake data flows, try the TCP/443 fallback mode if your VPN offers one.
