Hello! I am on a Debian 7 OpenVZ vps. At first I could not connect to the internet through the openvpn on the box, but after searching the forums I found that I needed to enter this command:
:~# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o venet0 -j SNAT --to-source 162.xxx.xxx.xxx
(162.xxx.xxx.xxx being the IP on my VPS.)
Everything seems to work well until I reboot the server, and then (usually, but not always) I have to log back in and re-enter the command to be able to reach the internet again.
