Dear OpenVPN experts,
I am trying to setup an OpenVPN server on CentOS 6 with a Windows 8 client. I managed to get it to work and access the internet via the server, however, I am experiencing a problem when connecting to the FTP server on the IP that is also used by the VPN tunnel.
When I altered the firewall to allow traffic to the FTP port on eth0, the problem was gone. Then I discovered that the Putty SSH client reports the internet provider IP as the IP that is connected to SSH, and not the IP of the VPN tunnel.
This makes it seem as if some traffic is not being directed via the tunnel, which would be a security problem.
Is it possible that some traffic from sertain software is directed around the VPN tunnel (e.g. spyware)?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Best Regards,
Jan
