I have a Ubuntu server currently behind an ipvanish VPN, using Openvpn. I can SSH locally to it but I cannot ping it. On the server I'm trying to mount a local Samba drive to the server, but that also doesn't work(I think that has something to do with the fact that I can't ping it).

1pinging is ICMP traffic. If you aren't forwarding it over your VPN, it won't work. ssh is TCP -- different protocol family, so different firewall rules apply. – Charles Duffy Mar 13 '19 at 01:31

1Beyond that, SO is explicitly/exclusively for questions about *writing code*. Consider our sister site [unix.se] for questions about system administration. – Charles Duffy Mar 13 '19 at 01:31
