OpenVPN No Longer Working

[Dolomiteclay]

I have to use OpenVPN software to login to the network drive for my work when I'm at home.  I have a google wifi router and up until Friday I didn't have any problems connecting to the network. However,  now I can't connect at all.  Since then, I have been able to login from a different wifi network, and it worked just fine.  I'm guessing this is the router, but I can't figure out what would caused the changes so that I can't access my work's network from home?

Based on previous threads on the topic of VPN not working on Nest Wifi, it's often either due to double NAT on your side (modem/ router in front of Nest Wifi is not bridged), or something on the server side.

What does the logs on your client say?

Hi. Thanks for the reply.  I'm not extremely advanced when it comes to home networks, so I'm not sure how to access the logs. The IT specialist at my work asked me to restart the google router and that solved the problem on Wednesday. Today, however, I cannot connect again.  I tried turning off the router like last time but it isn't working this time.

Search for the name of your VPN client + OS (Windows?) + client logs, see what they say are failing. Else it's hard to give you any advice.

Over the last week or so, it will work at times and then it won't other times.  Not sure what the issue is.
