I'm trying to establish a VPN from my Windows 8 machine to a server running OpenVPN. I have all certificates, key and configuration file set up. OpenVPN GUI works fine and says "client is now connected".
But all traffic from my machine continues as normal, ignoring the VPN. Sites report seeing my ip instead of the server's. I've read a dozen of guides and tutorials and they all stop at this part, so I guess this is a bug. OpenVPN GUI is running as administrator.
How do I effectively enable the VPN and route my traffic through it?
Are you wanting ALL your network traffic to go through the VPN? Although not "normal" because literally ALL of your Internet browsing will go through the VPN (is this necessary?). Can you run
ipconfig
and paste up both your Ethernet, Wifi (if you connect to your router using this) and, most importantly, your openVPN tun adapter IP? – Kinnectus – 2014-07-28T14:09:52.967can you provide routing information aswell,
route print
in addition toipconfig
would help. @BigChris is right in his answer when saying that you probably need to set up your server (ip forwarding and NAT/masquerading) – K-Yo – 2014-07-28T14:31:05.597
