If you are looking to route all traffic through the VPN, need to set a push statement that specifies redirect-gateway

Could you give me an example? Yes, I'd like to route all traffic through the VPN.

There are hundreds and hundreds of documents on it, including the openvpn howto. It has its own section even. Please read it. If i give it to you, you wont understand it.

I am looking at the openvpn howto right now, but I'm not really familiar with various conventions and terms of networking as to understand it well. I am hoping that some of my server/client config parameters were incorrect, or that I was missing a few lines in them, as per my connection log.

It is one line. Look for redirect-gateway in the howto.

I added the following to server side config:

Code: Select all

push "redirect-gateway def1"
push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8"

Now, my browsers dont load anything, and I get remarks that my DNS settings may be incorrect.

Did you create the necessary NAT rule in your firewall? If linux, it is an iptables masquerade.

Ps: hey! You found the right part of the docs. Fabulous.
