Connection Works but Public/External IP does not change
Posted: Mon Feb 18, 2013 12:03 am
Hi Everyone,
I have been experimenting with the iOS app for sometime, and it successfully connects to my DD-WRT based VPN server. It connects okay, and it is actually routing through the VPN as I can access IP's from my local network.
The thing is that I want it to change my external IP address on my iOS device. With my OpenVPN Access Server, when I connect to it from iPhone, it will change my external IP on the iPhone so when I visit websites, it identifies me with the new public/external IP that they VPN server assigned me. When I connect to DD-WRT it does not do that.
I am assuming this has to do with the way the gateway routing is set. If anyone can provide any feedback that would be marvelous. (I omitted server IP and keys for security).
Here is my config file (.ovpn)
