Following the steps described here I've managed to configure both the VPN server and client(I can ping both ways). Their respective configuration files are:
server:
;local a.b.c.d
port 1194
;proto tcp
proto udp
push "redirect-gateway def1"
;dev tap
dev tun
ca ca.crt
cert certificate_server.crt
key certificate_server.key
dh dh1024.pem
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
;server-bridge 10.8.0.4 255.255.255.0 10.8.0.50 10.8.0.100

;push "route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0"

The network layout is the following: I am using a client to connect to a server which is located behind a NAT. I have forwarded port 1194 on the NAT device and managed to ping the server successfully. Now I would like to route all traffic from my client's eth0 interface to the tun0 interface. Running ifconfig on the client gives:

On my client IPv4 packet forwarding is enabled; my routing tables on the client machine are: client:
$ netstat -nr
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
0.0.0.0 10.8.0.5 128.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tun0
0.0.0.0 172.26.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
10.8.0.1 10.8.0.5 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 tun0
10.8.0.5 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 tun0
<server_external_ip> 172.26.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0
128.0.0.0 10.8.0.5 128.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tun0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
172.26.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0
while on the server:
server:
0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
10.8.0.0 10.8.0.2 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 tun0
10.8.0.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 tun0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
How may I route all traffic from eth0 to tun0 on the client machine? I've tried adding an entry in my routing table:
sudo route add default gw 10.8.0.1
The output is:
SIOCADDRT: No such process
Also, after this step the connection stopped working, I could no longer ping the server from the client; traffic on eth0 could no longer be forwarded.

Did you remember to allow IPv4 forwarding on the server? You mention the client, where it is not needed. – MariusMatutiae – 2014-02-03T12:03:01.827
