Hello there,
I'll try to be concise. My issue is a very simple one I guess but I cannot seem to figure it out. Would be thankful for any pointers / help.
1. I setup openVPN on my Debian Wheezy server and it's working fine.
2. I setup the client on Windows 8 machine and it connects also fine.
They connect to each other both sides OK but the problem is that it created an unidentified network. That is I am connected to a network but when I go check my new IP address that was supposed to be given / assigned by my new vpn tunnel it shows me the IP address of my ISP instead. I am connected to my server, not to something else. Checked. :roll: Would be really grateful for any suggestions, advices, comments, assistance, etc. at all. Many thanks in advance!
Server's and client's (Windows 8) configs are pretty straight forward ones:
Server:
daemon
port 1194
proto udp
dev tun0
script-security 2
ca /etc/openvpn/keys/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/keys/mycert.crt
key /etc/openvpn/keys/mykey.key
dh /etc/openvpn/dh2048.pem
server 20.30.40.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist openvpn.dhcp
