Hi,
I have two VPN-Servers running at home.
One Server - OpenVPN - on my Synology NAS
One Server - IPSEC - on my FritzBox
If I choose the IPSEC-VPN and open a browser window, my external IP is the one from my home network - I am identified as a device from my home network
If I choose OpenVPN and open a browser windows, I still have the same IP adress as I had before establishing the VPN connection. As a result I am not able to access e.g. Netflix if I am outside my country.
Is there any kind of parameter I have to set ?

Re: OpenVPN does not work as expected ?
Thanks a lot for your answer.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to add this configuration line to my OpenVPN app on my Synology Filestation where the OpenVPN server is running.
Any idea how to solve this ?

Probably check the Synology documentation

Re: OpenVPN does not work as expected ?
Unfortunately these two sources do not fit together:
The synology setup guide says: "The option redirect-gateway has to be set in the openvpn.ovpn file at the client side."
The OpenVPN HowTo says: "Add the following directive to the server configuration file: push "redirect-gateway def1"
https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-sour ... l#redirect
Now I got stuck
