Connecting but what's my ip shows wrong information
Posted: Sun Jul 10, 2022 7:38 pm
I am connecting from my laptop via a hotspot on my (t-mobile) phone to an openVPN server running on my TrueNAS server at home.
It connects fine and I am able to browse the internet as well as my servers behind my router.
The problem is that when I run "https://whatismyipaddress.com", it shows the T-Mobile information from my phone.
My wife and I use this when we travel overseas so that we can access banks and other URLs that frown on foreign IP addresses accessing them. I also use it to access my devices at home so that I can maintain them when on the road.
Here is (I think) the issue in the configuration of the server (I just don't know what I am looking for):
Remote hosts receive a 10.20.0.0/24 IP address from the OpenVPN server.
My home network is 10.13.0.0/24
My router is 10.13.0.1 (and it provides DNS to my home network)
Of course I will provide any additional files and information, but as I don't know where to start, I don't know what to share.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Code: Select all
push "route 10.20.0.0 255.255.255.0"
push "route 10.13.0.0 255.255.255.0"
push "redirect-gateway def1"
push "dhcp-option DNS 10.13.0.1"
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
