Hello,
i recently installed an OpenVPN server on my Debian 7 Wheezy dedicated server.
After i created and installed the required certificates, i could successfully connect to the machine.
With a few server.conf modifications and ipv4 port forwarding i could even route the internet traffic through the VPN. (Received the server IP when accessing whatsmyip)
The strange thing is, even with the usual Port Forwarding and OpenVPN server settings i can't route
all kind of traffic.
While the Browser traffic is working properly, the traffic from some
other applications won't work through the VPN connection.
For example Skype or Teamspeak will still use my uncovered IP from my ISP, even though I have successfully connected to my VPN server and the browser traffic is going through the tunnel. (Whatsmyip will show me the IP of the OpenVPN server!)
I really hope you can help me to fix that problem 8-)
Here are my OpenVPN server/client settings:
