Is there any way to use all adapters at the same time?

iluvtrollhd · Post by **iluvtrollhd** » Sat Jul 09, 2016 3:13 pm

Before switching to OpenVPN, I've been using both (certain) VPN and my home wifi at the same time. I managed and controlled all my network connections with Windows Firewall, and I really liked it. However, It seems that OpenVPN automatically disable all other local adapters available. I really want to control Inbound and outbound connections on my own. How can I do that?

With your personal firewall.

With your personal firewall.

As I said earlier, I already know how to control inbound or outbound connections with Windows Firewall. What I mean is that I'm no longer able to do that, because OpenVPN seems to automatically suck in all outbound connections by default.

Let me elaborate more in detail. I have two adapters installed on my Windows 10—my wifi adapter(private), and TAP adapter(public). With Windows Firewall, I made sure that Internet Explorer can't use public adapters so that only the private adapters will be allowed. However, once connected to OpenVPN, Internet Explorer does not show a thing, indicating that the wifi adapter, which is the only one that is allowed, is not working properly. Do you have any idea that comes up in your mind?

Please post your current server and client config files.

Please post your current server and client config files.

I'm not sure what you meant by "current server", but the VPN I'm using right now is VikingVPN. For the client config file, I removed seemingly unncessary (possibly private) information:

Code: Select all

client
dev tun
proto udp
nobind
cipher AES-256-CBC
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
verb 2
key-direction 1
server-poll-timeout 300
sndbuf 500000
rcvbuf 500000
block-outside-dns
...

This is probably because VikingVPN is redirecting your client default gateway .. which you will see in you client log file.

Can you tell me how I can fix this problem?
I'm no expert, so I really need your help!

This is how VikingVPN configure their VPN .. It means that when you browse the internet you do so via VikingVPN.

What exactly are you trying to do ?
