OpenVPN Support Forum

Hello,

I have set up a VPN, which appears to work, but I might not be doing something right.

Basically, I have a personal laptop that i connect to the ethernet at work, and I want to use that ethernet connection to use my VPN connection for all network data.

The reason for this is that work blocks some types of websites, and I don't want to be limited.

My connection says that it works, (can ping) but I am still getting the 'Dansguardian blah blah' when I try to connect to gamefaqs.com, which means it is not sending that request through the VPN.

Am I on the right track? Or do I need a tap connection instead or something?

Here are my configs:

Server:
dev tun
ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2
secret static.key


Client:
remote editIPforforums
dev tun
ifconfig 10.8.0.2 10.8.0.1
secret static.key

Thank you for the link. I had tried a few searches, but didn't know quite what to search for.

I'll take my questions into that thread.
