Hi
This is my first installation, for a friend to access his windows server at job for him and 2 boys he works with. After much work learning last summer I got this working nice, except they must disconnect from vpn to recover web access. This is not a big issue has they just need vpn access for short time and can deal with missing web at the same time.
So yet thank you the devs for this great piece of software :ugeek:
Recently the question came from the friend that went abroad and heard he could watch our country restricted locale TV through a VPN that would sit here :? ... he remembered he has one yet ...
Well all fine, I said, I'll have a look why you can't have the web when on the VPN. I found I set push "redirect-gateway def1" believing this would force them through VPN server for web browsing while connected. And remembered that I was told they had no web, and we decided to leave this as is, as a security feature...
Assumed I have some issue in the settings I hope to workaround, I have a question : in the office, there are 2 ddwrt boxes, one being the default gateway for years, and the second one being the OpenVPN server (2.3.4), also ddwrt, both wrt54gl with its inherent poor perfs, each attached to the Internet with its own public ip address. My idea was to alleviate the burden of a single box if it always would have to deal with internal originating traffic + usual vpn one.
Would it be possible that web queries from a client walk through the vpn server to the office gateway then to the web, then replies come back through the same path? I yet had to add a route into the gateway to make it know the vpn :
dest 10.0.64.80 gw 192.168.0.252 mask 255.255.255.248 UG 0 0 0 br0
Thank you
