Hi

I am installed OpenVPN Server on ubuntu 18.04
Its working fine. My problem is that i don't want to use Server's Internet bandwidth to the clients.

Clients should use their own internet bandwidth while working with VPN.
Please suggest

My Server configuration is

Server Config

port 1194
proto udp
dev tun
user nobody
group nogroup
persist-key
persist-tun
keepalive 10 120
topology subnet
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0

Hi Sum,

Why are you pushing --redirect-gateway if you don't want to redirect the gateway?

Did you not follow the official HOWTO?

HI

Thanks for your prompt reply.
As per your suggestion I have changed my configuration but still while checking internet from whatismyip.com its VPN Server's WAN IP instead of client's WAN IP.

Reboot your client.

Also after rebooting, my VPN subnets are reachable but Internet is not working on clients.
Please suggest
