Network layout: Laptop (OpenVPN client) <-> router with 192.168.1.xxx subnet <-> internet <-> Home router (running DD-WRT with OpenVPN server) with 192.168.11.xxx subnet
The VPN server is operating in layer 2 mode (bridge). All of my internet traffic passes through the VPN tunnel. My home router & VPN have an external IP of 68.64.127.82
.
My laptop (VPN client) has an IP address on the physical LAN of 192.168.1.40
. My IP address on the VPN is 192.168.11.50
.
Here is my question: What makes all the internet traffic pass through the VPN tunnel?
Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.40 20
0.0.0.0 128.0.0.0 192.168.11.1 192.168.11.50 30
The first line says everything should go the router I'm physically connected to (not the VPN router). The second line makes no sense to me. The 192.168.11.xxx
subnet is on my VPN. How can you have a 0.0.0.0
destination with a netmask?!?
Question 2: What does the 128.0.0.0
netmask mean with a 0.0.0.0
destination?
Question 3: Why does the second line take priority over the first line?
Thanks for your help!
