Hello OpenVPN community !
I am looking for help concerning Open VPN.
I am running an OPN VPN Server on a QNAP TS-228A NAS. I am running this OpenVPN connection to acces my cloud storage wherever I am (LAN or abroad with 4G connection on my phone). I am also using the last version of OpenVPN Connect on every device.
The issue:
I don't want all the traffic to be sent over the VPN connection, just datas I am transfering on the NAS. On the server configuration page, I have disabled the "use this connection as the default gateway for connected devices":
Here is the configuration file on every clients:
client
dev tun
script-security 3
remote ******************
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
auth-nocache
auth-user-pass
remote-cert-tls server
reneg-sec 0
cipher AES-128-CBC
tls-cipher *********************
comp-lzo
proto tcp
client-cert-not-required
--pull-filter ignore redirect-gateway
But here is the issue: it seems to work because when I use speedtest.net, my connection speed is 950mbps (optical fiber) in download and 600mbps in upload. As when routing traffic through VPN connection, I am bottlenecked by the NAS at 150mbps in download and upload. So apparently, the pull-filter command is working. But sometimes, my computer does not recognize that I am connected to internet, I have this symbol:
My spotify says that I am offline, but when I go to Firefox I can browse the web and use it normally. I have to restart the VPN connection to connect Spotify and obtain the right symbol:
How do I tell windows to ignore the VPN connection and only use it to access the NAS,
Thank you ! 🙂
