If you need to use it for *just* firefox, openvpn isn't for you, unless you want to use a ssh tunnel over the VPN.

If you want to redirect *all* traffic, look into the redirect-gateway setting.

I try to redirect all traffic to use openvpn. But when my client windows show default gateway does not have ip, user cannot surf.

I setup this vpn on ubuntu 10.10 that run in VPS using OpenVZ. Is there any problem run on VM? On physical server i manage to setup.
