I am using ubuntu 14.04 and used to connect to airvpn via openvpn and everything always worked quiet well. But now I had to buy a new router, which is a EuroDocsiss router, and it seems that vpn does not work behind this thing. When I connect in the terminal via openvpn everything works just fine and I get "Initialization Sequence Completed" but when I try to connect to any site nothing works. Does anyone have any suggestions how to nail down the problem?

I use VPN to have some privacy while surfing, so solutions like this: OpenVPN connecting but no internet access on Ubuntu 14.04 / 16.04 do not count, I guess.

I am far from being a crack in handling ubuntu and stuff alike so please be patient with me :)

Thanks for the help!

Here are some terminal outputs that might be helpful?!

This is without vpn connection:

Check if you can ping some service by it's IP address, not the canonical name, for example:

ping -c 3 8.8.8.8

If you can, then problem is with accessibility of your DNS. The easiest way to change it is by editing /etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver 8.8.8.8

But if you want it to be done every time you connect to VPN check this question: https://serverfault.com/questions/318563/how-to-push-my-own-dns-server-to-openvpn
