Sharing openvpn connection with xbox360
Posted: Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:43 pm
I have openvpn setup in Windows 7 and have Internet Connection Sharing enabled for the TAP adapter. I set the default gateway of my xbox360 and ps3 to be the lan IP (192.168.0.10) of the Windows 7 computer that's running openvpn. This works fine as the xbox360 is able to connect to the internet using the vpn. The problem is that if the openvpn connection stops working or drops out for some reason, the xbox360 still is able to connect to the internet without vpn.
I would have thought that since Internet Connection Sharing was enabled for the TAP adapter and not the NIC on the Windows 7 machine, that any device using this computer as their default gw would only work if the TAP adapter was active. Is there a way to have any devices that are using this openvpn connection to only work if the vpn connection is working?
