Unable to connect to VPN

Hello,

ParrotOS user on Virtual Box.
I’ve downloaded the udp, and tcp ovpn file.

When I add the VPN file through network manager, and select the VPN to be enabled. It will show connected. However if I open Firefox, and direct the browser to a URL, it just hangs.

When I launch terminal, and sudo academy.ovpn from my Downloads folder it shows Connection Sequence Intialized. However, when I check to see if my IP has been masked, it has not and it still shows my local IP.

I downloaded OpenVPN on my Host Machine, and tried the VPN file. It connects but doesn’t mask IP when checked online.
