OpenVPN Support Forum

I am working with two VMs in virtualbox. Both of them are in one Subnet 10.0.2.0. On the first VM I run client.conf and on other VM run server.conf and startup Apache Server. OpenVPN tunnel established successfully. But I want to make all traffic in the client go through the VPN tunnel. For testing this, I use port-share with Apache server port, open firefox browser and try to connect https://10.0.2.5:4433. But error unreachable occured. Unfortunately I can't find the problem.

here is my server.conf (with ip : 10.0.2.5):

#Network Configuration
mode server
proto tcp-server
dev tun
topology subnet
ifconfig xxxx 255.255.255.0

port-share 10.0.2.5 4433

and client.conf (with ip : 10.0.2.5):

Thanks in advance, hope you can help.

It looks like you are trying to connect to apache without going via openvpn port-share ..

why? I add "port-share 10.0.2.5 4433" to server config. Are configs incomplete?
Can you help me to use from correct configs?

To test the shared port you would attempt to connect the the VPN server address/port with a browser.

See the manual for --port-share
