First, I did RTFM, but I think I may be thinking about the problem wrong, so I am asking for help.
I am used to setting up tinc, which creates a mesh VPN.
Here's the goal: setup an OpenVPN server which allows:
1. Remote users to authenticate with certificates / keys.
2. Allows remote users full access to the entire LAN here at the office.
3. Configures routes so that ONLY traffic destined for the LAN here at the office goes over the VPN (if they watch youtube.com, that traffic is not routed).
I was able to accomplish #1. But, I can only see the VPN server itself (remotely). I enabled forwarding, but still no joy. I have clearly missed something basic.
Also, on the client side, it's trying to run all traffic over the VPN.
I am sure there is a guide / howto published someplace that I haven't found, or a simple answer to this. Looking for advice as we transition to OpenVPN.
Thanks in advance,
Michael
