      I managed to set up OpenVPN with NetworkManager; I had to switch VPN provider to IVPN because they still support AES‑256‑CBC.

      It's working flawlessly on Wi‑Fi, but not on cellular data. On cellular it connects, but I get no internet. Is there something I need to do to make cellular work?

      Very nice tho that ivpn works gives me hope I might get it to work on cellular

          Just to be clear:
          Are you trying to install the OpenVPN server or the OpenVPN client on your phone?

            @Vlad-Nirky client I downloaded the openvpn config from ivpn and imported it with nmcli but I had to manually input the ca cert and tsl cert

            Its working 100% perfect on WiFi but when I go on 4g it connects to the VPN but I get no internet

            I'm on ubuntu touch version 24.04.1.3

              Perhaps could you try to reduce the MTU packet size?
              nmcli connection modify "Your_VPN" +vpn.data "mssfix=1300"

                Another possibility is to disable IPV6
                nmcli connection modify "Your_VPN" ipv6.method ignore

                    @Vlad-Nirky sadly non of those commands fixed it

                    Pretty weird that openvpn works on WiFi but not mobile data

                      Last chance, force the openvpn
                      nmcli connection modify "Your_VPN" ipv4.never-default no
                      nmcli connection modify "Your_VPN" ipv6.never-default no

                        Did you tried a ping of an IP address or a domain name?

                            I was wondering if you could ping 8.8.8.8 instead of www.google.com
                            More likely a block by the ISP

                              when i run ping 8.8.8.8 i get
                              PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data
                              when i dissable vpn on 4g i get much more output when i ping

                              never heard of isp/carriers blocking vpns where i live might try a config with port 443 then.

                              443 i heard can often get around vpn blocks

                                @Vlad-Nirky tried a new config with TCP at port 443 same issue

                                I'm pretty sure my mobile data carrier doesn't block VPNs. On my old Android phone I used OpenVPN 24/7 when I was on 4G before I switched to using Ubuntu Touch as my daily driver.

                                i run vpn on my router so its really only for when im on 4g/mobile data i woude want a vpn on the phone
                                when im at home i get vpn over wireless

                                  sudo journalctl -u NetworkManager -f
                                  What gives ip route show when vpn is active (mentionning tun interface)?

                                    when i run sudo journalctl -u NetworkManager -f
                                    these are the only errors i noticed

                                    Dnsmasq is just using nameservers and NetworkManager is bringing up tun0. The only real problem in the snippet is the VPN restarting:

                                    nm-openvpn: Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting
                                    nm-openvpn: SIGUSR1[soft,ping-restart] received, process restarting

                                    this is the active connections listed when i run mnlci connection show --active

                                    o1.gw.ivpn.net
                                    NetCon
                                    lo
                                    tun0

                                      I restarted my OpenVPN (on Pi-hole).
                                      I was able to connect my phone to it and access my home network via 4G LTE.
                                      Running on 24.04-2.x (don't know if this matter)

                                          Yes not easy to share things without leaking some private informations...

                                          Perhaps could you take a look at this exchange
