OpenVPN connected but no internet connection.
I received OpenVPN information from my company today.
I am able to use OpenVPN client on Windows and Android to connect and browse the web, but when I use OpenVPN on Arch Linux, the connection is successful but I can't browse any websites. The IT support guy in my company doesn't support me because he doesn't know anything about Arch Linux.
When I try to ping www.google.com, the IP is resolved so it's not a DNS issue.
PING www.google.com (172.217.194.103) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- www.google.com ping statistics ---
12 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 151msPlease tell me if I need to provide any additional information.

Re: OpenVPN connected but no internet connection.
A log from openvpn would be helpful but make sure you remove any identifying info from it (home IP or the like) you don't want shared.

Sorry for that, I've removed it.

Here is the log from `journalctl -u NetworkManager`: https://pastebin.com/XzSimG8s

Re: OpenVPN connected but no internet connection.
If you use NetworkManager, tell it to use the VPN connection for the VPN network's resources only.

But that means the web traffic won't go through VPN, right?

Yes. I assumed this is what you were looking for.

When I told it to use the VPN connection for the VPN network's resources only, I was able to browse the company's internal website, but for only some seconds and then I got denied like I wasn't using VPN.

Re: OpenVPN connected but no internet connection.
I don't know networkmanager... what happens if you use something like systemd-network to get your LAN up and then the openvpn@ service with their config?
