for work i have to connect into a clients VPN,
which i do by using OpenVPN GUI on a Win 10 computer.
Within the clients VPN no connections to the internet are allowed,
but as all of my traffic runs through the VPN i cannot use the internet/check my emails while i am connected to the VPN.
From what i understand adding these lines to the client.ovpn file should route the traffic
that requires VPN into the VPN while allowing me to still use the internet.
Code: Select all
route-nopull
route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
but directly using the IPs works.
To me (not a network person) this seems like the "route-nopull" option prevents setting the DNS entries
that would be needed to resolve hostnames within the VPN.
Can you please point to me which option i should use instead/additionally?
Also am i correct assuming that this approach does not puncture the clients security i.e. the hosts i connect to within the
clients VPN are still not reachable from the internet?
Thanks in advance
