Configure OpenVPN as a server and as a client on the same machine

dcaccount

ello,

my Rpi4 (192.168.1.141) has been configured as an OpenVPN server. I can connect to it from everywhere, being therefore in my LAN, without the need of opening too many ports to the Internet and this is great.

I have now purchased a VPN service and I would like for the Rpi4 to work both as an OpenVPN server and then parallel to that, as a VPN client through this service.

In other words, the clients outside my network connect to the OpnVPN Rpi4 server whose Internet traffic goes through this VPN service.

I have noticed that when I connect the Raspberry to the VPN service, all clients connected to the Rpi4 as a VPN server cannot access to the Internet.

I think there are some routing rules to set up but I am new to them. I tried to Google for the solution but I have not been able to come up with a solution.

Can anyone please help me to configure them?

Thanks,
Dan

This cannot be configured within Openvpn - You must use policy routing .. search for that.
