Hi. I have some problem with iptables or openvpn settings maybe. openvpn client connect to openvpn server and after that connect to another server i see ip address of openvpn server. Need client ip

Now:

OpenVPN client -> openvpn.server ( register and obtain 10.8.8.2 ip )
OpenVPN client ( client ip 10.8.8.2 ) -> anotherserver (server ip 10.5.5.2) = in anotherserver logs i see : login from openvpn.server
I want:

OpenVPN client -> openvpn.server ( register and obtain 10.8.8.2 ip )
OpenVPN client (client ip 10.8.8.2) -> anotherserver (server ip 10.5.5.2) = in anotherserver logs i see : login from 10.8.8.2

Hi Mikhail,

It sounds like you are using source NAT on the openvpn.server. In iptables terms that would be SNAT or MASQUERADE.
