Hello,
I have recently configured the VPM server on TomatoUSB running on my Asus router, and have installed OpenVPN on my client PC running Windows 7. Everything seems to be normal - I can access the Tomato home page on my router from the client, and shares using //<ip_address_of_LAN_node>.
One thing is still puzzling me. If I use my client PC to access the Internet at an unsecured public wifi hotspot, how can I ensure that web traffic is transported indrectly through my Tomato router to the Internet via the VPN tunnel, and not directly though the wifi connection?
On Tomato, I have configured my VPN server to work in TUN mode which, as I understand it, means that my client PC is not directly connected to my home LAN and is not assigned a LAN IP address. If I configure it to use TAP instead of TUN mode, will this mean that a second virtual interface adapter is created on my client PC, which I can then configure to have a higher connection metric than the wireless adapter? I used TUN mode because I read on a tutorial that it is easier to configure. If I used TAP mode, will this mean that Windows network doscovery will work and I will be able to visualize other nodes connected to the LAN?
I've been googling this all afternoon, and haven't been able to find any advice or tutorials.
Many thanks,
Paul

Many thanks.
I had seen that document, I didn't even understand the title of that section until you posted its relevance.
