can the traffic of open vpn client1 go through client2, then go to internet?

blackantt

Hi,

Most of time, the traffic of open vpn clients will go to vpn server, then go to internet.
Now I want client2 to be an internet proxy/gateway for client1, the traffic of client1 will go to client2 directly (don't go to vpn server), then go to internet.
My case, server has a public ip, another clients have private ip (behind NAT network). so server will manage all of clients, but I want client2 to be a proxy for client1, client8 is another proxy for client5. Can I do it?
Maybe I didn't describe it, anything ask me and give me hint.

thanks

It is possible you might be able to do this .. what operating system is client2 ?

This you can not do .. packets will go to the VPN server first then to client2 ..

they are site to site open vpn network. all of VPNs are set up on tomato router.

another question, can the traffic of server go to client2, then go to internet? (because server tomato has a dynamic public ip, but small bandwidth, client tomato has a private ip, but big bandwidth)

If it is on the internet it has a public ip .. ?

Yes .. but you will have to setup routing manually and may also need policy based routing.
