Hello OpenVPN Community, I use OpenVPN with a customer. The customer provide the OpenVPN Server and I installed [b]OpenVPN client[/b] on my [b]Windows 7[/b] and connect to his network. I don't like, that on active connection, all my traffic uses the VPN connection. I need [b]only Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) to use the VPN Connection[/b]. I hope somebody knows a newbie friendly way to configure [b]Windows 7[/b] (or the OpenVPN client) to use [b]only RDP[/b] for the OpenVPN connection. I have to configure the [b]restriction (or different routings) on client side[/b]. Perhaps a port restriction would fit, to use the OpenVPN connection only for the windows rdp port. I searched internet and the forum, because I thought to find a solution, but for now I didn't find a working one. If you know one, a link would be kind. Thanks a lot! Best regards Manni

Restrict OpenVPN Client to use VPN for RDP Only (Windows 7)

Hello OpenVPN Community,

I use OpenVPN with a customer. The customer provide the OpenVPN Server and I installed OpenVPN client on my Windows 7 and connect to his network.
I don't like, that on active connection, all my traffic uses the VPN connection. I need only Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) to use the VPN Connection.

I hope somebody knows a newbie friendly way to configure Windows 7 (or the OpenVPN client) to use only RDP for the OpenVPN connection. I have to configure the restriction (or different routings) on client side. Perhaps a port restriction would fit, to use the OpenVPN connection only for the windows rdp port.

I searched internet and the forum, because I thought to find a solution, but for now I didn't find a working one. If you know one, a link would be kind.

Thanks a lot!

Best regards
