openmind hi, I would like use openvpn to hide my public ip, I would like to use openvpn to connect my computer to internet with an masqueraded ip, if it's possible.... I installed openvpn on ubuntu and I tryed to configure it following the guide how to tunneling all the traffic through openvpn, but the guide was referred to openvpn for server-client connection and also I don't know if what i would like to do is possible with openvpn... so I ask you if it's possible and how I can do this. p.s. I read about online server tunneling that hide your ip also by payment service, but I'm not interested in this, I would like to do something by myself with openvpn if it's possible. best regards
[deleted] Hi Openmind.....That's the POINT !!!! I share the same issue!!! So I open a another topic with following question: "Can openvpn to be able to hide real ISP IP on client?" My case below: "......Does can openvpn to be able to hide real ISP IP on client side only with "redirect-gateway def1" or there are more procedures that I need to make for complete that? or is it only possible using a VPN online account like NordVPN, hide-my-ass, hide.me, whatever....? I have made my home work all best I can, but unfortunately it not work for me yet. My client can connect my server outside or inside network. It crossing a Endian firewall appliance machine with Proxy + iptables in the server machine (another machine). So when I try to check dnsleaktest or whatsmyip......I can see just my real ISP IP, but when I apply traceroute I can see web traffic client crossing inside VPN normally with first node to 10.8.0.1 (vpn server)....." Why my vpn server IP not result to dnsleaktest or whatsmyip checks?
