I successfully set up an OpenVPN server on my router a few months ago and have been happily enjoying using both the PC and Android clients.
I recently noticed that my IP address does not change when I enable the client on my PC or on my phone. I always understood VPN as a tool used for safe browsing on public wifi networks, so I expected all data to be tunneled through the VPN. A quick search through the forums, here, tells me that I will have to enable this feature if I want all data tunneled through VPN. I mostly use OpenVPN to connect to my home NAS, so this doesn't affect my primary use case. However, now I'm a little concerned about using my VPN on public networks.
So how do I know what data is being sent through the VPN?
I can provide hardware/software specifics if you want them, but I suspect that I just don't understand VPN as well as I though I did.
