Server and client on same machine (Linux)?

Post by icebowl » Sat Nov 18, 2023 12:07 am

I've installed openvpn on a Gentoo machine.
I'm new to openvpn
yoda /etc/openvpn # ifconfig
eno1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.8 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255

tun0: flags=4305<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.100.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 destination 10.100.0.2
I have the server running.
Here is the docs I followed: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OpenVPN

I could like to use the server as a client for web browsing.
Is this possible possible?

the client and server use the /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf file.
