openVPN not showing the VPN ip?

mapito

Hi,

I setup a VPN on my home server (Ubuntu 13.04 ) mainly with the goal of using the VPN on my iphone when at work

I can connect fine to the VPN both locally and using the external interet facing IP - but it shows the 3g IP when using the VPN on my iphone

Am I doing something wrong?! shouldn't it show my home IP?

Many thanks

what shows your 3g IP? if you are using Safari or the default web browser, it may not be sending the traffic down the VPN. the default browser on android, which is WebKit based like the iphone browser, does this too. try disabling split tunneling (also referred to as forcing all traffic through the tunnel), if you are not already doing so.

hey thanks for the reply mate

Safari on my iphone shows my 3g Orange IP when I check at whatismyip.com
ah hadn't heard of split tunnelling i take it il need to edit the server conf file for this?
