Am I routing all internet traffic through VPN? Route print shows my VPN network with a higher metric value.

client
remote ******* 1194
dev tun
comp-lzo
ca ca.crt
cert client1.crt
key client1.key
route-delay 2
route-method exe
redirect-gateway def1
verb 3

Code: Select all

IPv4 Route Table
===========================================================================
Active Routes:
Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.79 25
0.0.0.0 128.0.0.0 10.8.0.5 10.8.0.6 31
10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.8.0.5 10.8.0.6 31

It's not redirect-gateway def1 only matter. The 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 route has a lower metric which theoretically must take precedence, but 0.0.0.0/128.0.0.0 with a higher metrics occurs first because it is a more specific route, then the general one. Also 128.0.0.0/128.0.0.0 - is also a more specific rule.
