I have access to scientific journals when I am in my office at My University. When I go to a scientific journal website the site displays at the top that "Access is being provided by My University."
I setup an OpenVPN server on a Ubuntu machine in my office with the hopes of being able to VPN in from my laptop at home and access scientific journals from there rather than have to make the long commute on weekends.
The result is that the VPN link seems to be setup but the scientific journal websites do not recognize me as being from the university; ie no "Access is being provided by My University."
I had thought that by accessing the web through the VPN to the computer at the university it would appear as though I were using that computer or at least coming from the same domain and thus be able to access the scientific journals.
ipconfig /all shows a lot of connections, including:
1. Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: TAP-Win32 Adapter V9
2. Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection: Atheros
3. Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection: Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface
4. Other interfaces which are in the state "Media disconnected" including several Tunnel adapter isatap.xxxxxxxxxxx's where at least one of the xxxxxxxxxx includes the domain of My University.
Does this sound like a problem with my OpenVPN server? or OpenVPN client? or the wrong kind of VPN? Or is this not possible at all?
Thanks

This is definitly possible using openvpn. And the problems currently looks like you are not redirecting the gateway.
Can you, according to the Forum Rules, post your client and server-configs? This allows us to give usefull feedback.
