darkman088 Hello, Due to hardware incompatibility I'm now forced to switch from Linux to Windows 7. PLEASE let's discuss client side ONLY, as I don't have any control over the server. Under Linux, when I connect to the VPN, all the traffic was routed through the VPN and when checking my IP address on known sites (i.e. ipaddress.com) I was seeing the IP address of the VPN server. Now I have installed OpenVPN 2.2.2 under Windows 7. YES, I am running it as Admin, but ipaddress.com shows my IP address directly! I have searched for solutions and I did this: Right click on the OpenVPN icon, Edit config and I have added the following line to my config: push "redirect-gateway def1" This didn't work, and as I am connected over a wireless router, I modified the line to this: push "redirect-gateway local def1" Most unfortunately, this doesn't work. Although, with modifying the routes, I am able to get all the traffic rerouted and I see the server's IP on ipaddress.com. Although doing this every time is a big hassle and I would kindly ask you for a simpler setting / solution. P.S.: Please write detailed explanations, as networking is by far my weakest side :-/
janjust if you're talking only about the *client* side then you should use redirect-gateway def1 (i.e. without the 'push'): you can only 'push' stuff from server to client.
darkman088 Hello, thanks a million!! Just I found it out with the help of a friend several hours ago. Anyway, THANKS, this is the correct answer! I was searching the net a lot, but didn't find it anywhere... So, for others suffering this, it really solves the problem :-)
