Database connection through openvpn broken after latest current update
Latest updates left me unable to connect through vpn with my sql tool to databases. The scenario is as follows:
I start openvpn connection with remote location, obtain ip from remote router on tap device. Then I can ping devices on the other side, connect successfully to PCs via vnc and manage devices like LAN printers through www, but I can't trigger a connection to remote database (Firebird or Oracle). My favourite tool (Orbada) gives me connection error in an instant ("unable to complete network request[...]"). It seems to look for the defined host on physical interface only, completely ignoring tap device.
To be sure, I checked about twenty out of my +200 defined connections, none of them work. I've been using them for years, so spelling mistakes can be safely ruled out.
I thought it was an error on Orbada side, but tried DBeaver and Squirrel-sql with the same result.
I tried different method of obtaining ip address - ip command vs ifconfig command, dhcp vs manual, to no avail.
Out of options, I unearthed old IBOConsole for Windows, installed it and ran through Wine. To my amusement, it worked, but I would really prefer to use native Unix apps, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
