Nooby question: Alongside system-wide vpn #271

Closed RAVENz46 closed 4 months ago

RAVENz46 commented 5 months ago

Hi, Thanks for your work! I'm sorrry for the rudimentary question. I'd like to know

  1. When system-wide VPN enable, is connection like PC -> system-wide VPN -> vopono's VPN -> server ?
  2. Can I create bridged namespace to bypass system-wide VPN with vopono?

I think it'd be the other way around, that you'd need a bridge in order to get the system-wide VPN to apply, because here the nftables rules are applying directly on the network interface.

But have you tested it? I'll try it tonight just for the simple case of running OpenVPN directly outside of vopono.
