I followed this guide in setting up a Softether VPN server on a Digital Ocean Ubuntu 14.04 instance. I installed Softether vpn client and openvpn on my laptop (ubuntu 14.10).
The server logs indicate that both clients can connect OK but I am unable to ping or telnet to the server. Also, when I connect with openvpn, I lose all internet, except skype.
With openvpn client netstat -nr reports as the following.

With Softether client, netstat -nr reports the following:

Ping to telnet to 192.168.30.14 times out.
Softether vpn client ifconfig -a reports the following.
