Hi,
I use OpenVPN client 2.4.9 on Windows 10 (v2004), and I have issues with
the Network Location Awareness (NLA) Windows service.
The issue is essentially described here, even though it dates back to
Windows 7:
https://docs.microsoft.com/it-it/archive/blogs/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/office-2013-reports-no-internet-connectivity-with-vpn-connection
My symptoms are the same: when I connect to my company VPN using
OpenVPN, soon or later (maybe after minutes, maybe hours) the NLA
service decides that no internet access is available, I get the "no
internet access" tray icon, and some applications do not work as they
should, notably Spotify and Office 365 in my case. Nevertheless, all
other applications work fine and I can successfully access the web and
my company LAN. But those apps refusing to connect are very annoying.
When this happens, this script actually finds no failed checks:
https://community.spiceworks.com/scripts/show/4340-network-connection-status-indicator-ncsi-test
I tried every workaround I could find on the web: remove antivirus,
disable windows firewall, set NLA delayed startup, set default gateway
in TAP NIC properties, set registry keys like in
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4550028/firewall-profile-does-not-switch-to-domain-when-using-third-party-vpn
or
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/e3e75a8f-27f7-479b-b573-3d012a69b45f/network-location-awareness-doesnt-detect-connectivity?forum=win10itpronetworking
Nothing fixed the issue.
I'm getting crazy, can anyone help, please?
Thanks.
This is the "ipconfig /all" output when connected to the VPN:
