Hi. I am configuring Tomato as an OpenVPN client.

My goal is to have all traffic to be redirected so that when I check my IP address on http://www.whatismyip.com it would show the OpenVPN server's IP.

So far, Tomato connects to the OpenVPN server just fine, and I can confirm by pinging OpenVPN tun interface IP as well as all the rest of the VPN clients. However, I cannot ping any outside ip or google.com.

I followed the Tomato_OpenVPN_Setup wiki guide to configure tomato

-OpenVPN server is a remote location-

In OpenVPN server host I have the following to accomplish all traffic to be redirected to client's TUN interface:
It is confirmed and working with multiple OpenVPN clients, both linux and windows. But it is still broke in Tomato's client.

1. /etc/sysctl.conf
set net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 in

2. /etc/openvpn/server.conf
push "redirect-gateway def1"
push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8"

3. iptables:
iptables -I FORWARD -i tun+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

What am I missing in Tomato OpenVPN client conf?

Thanks very much in advance.

Hi All,

The solution was to enable "Accept DNS Configuration" in Advanced tab of the client settings.

For me it only worked after I restarted the router.

By the way, is it normal that the vpn clients that are behind tomato router are no longer able to connect to the vpn server?

So, tell me a thing.......when you enter to check your client vpn in http://www.whatismyip.com.......which IP is showed as result? Is Openvpn able to hide your ISP IP (IP real) after client connect to the server?
