Redirect traffic from OpenVPN-Server to foreign countries

Post by versvendet » Wed May 09, 2018 7:59 am

Hello Community,

I have a Server with a static public IP and a Domain. Let's call the IP 1.2.3.4 and the domain "test.de"
The clients connect via UDP and Port 1194 to the Server an receive an IP in 10.11.1.0/24.
For example my laptop gets the IP 10.11.1.2 and the server has the IP 10.11.1.1.
All traffic that comes from my laptop is tunneled to the OpenVPN-Server.

Now I want that the traffic that comes to the server will be forwarded to foreign countries.
Is it possible that my laptop routes the traffic to the server and the server routes it to foreign countries.

Laptop (10.11.1.2) -> OpenVPN-Server (1.2.3.4) -> foreign countries (another OpenVPN-Server (ex. 5.6.7.8))

In the end, my laptop should have the public ip 5.6.7.8

Is that possible, because my server has to keep its public ip 1.2.3.4?


I hope for your help
Thank you

Sven

You can do double-OpenVPN by having one instance run on a host machine (to 1.2.3.4) and one instance on a virtual machine (to 5.6.7.8).

Your server 1.2.3.4 can run a client to 5.6.7.8 simultaneous, yes.
Then route the traffic from server to client, so that is a routing matter.

why not just run 2 processes of openvpn on different ports?

Because she/he wants:
Laptop (10.11.1.2) -> OpenVPN-Server (1.2.3.4) -> foreign countries (another OpenVPN-Server (ex. 5.6.7.8))
client --> server-test.de also running a client to --> server-another-country --> internet ;)

Thank you first for your answers.
I have already tried it, but the server was then no longer accessible under his public ip.
May I forgot something to observe?
