What to do with tun0 interface after connecting to server?

[lolex]

Hello,

I am a new user of OpenVPN. I have successfully deployed it on my OpenWRT router according to these instructions http://wiki.openwrt.org/inbox/vpn.howto. Now my tun0 interface shows up:

Code: Select all

tun0    Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
          inet addr:10.0.0.6  P-t-P:10.0.0.5  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

I was thinking that everything will happen automatically and my whole Internet traffic will be routed through this interface and in consequence by my home router but it didn't happen. I tried to use the following command to set tun0 as a default interface but to no avail:

Code: Select all

route add default gw 10.0.0.6 tun0

Can you tell me what steps should I perform to be able to use this new virtual interface and see all shares in my LAN etc.?P

I got interested in VPN because I am going for a long business trip to a distant country and was looking for a way to do free VOIP calls to my friends in country.

add

Code: Select all

redirect-gateway def1

to the client config ; also make sure IP masquerading is enabled on the server (openwrt?) side.
