How to route only VPN/LAN subnet traffic over OpenVPN? #9

Closed ehamwey closed 4 years ago

ehamwey commented 4 years ago

By default on other systems, split tunnel is enabled - meaning, all internet traffic goes through the client Internet connection, but if traffic is destined for the OpenVPN server's subnet/OpenVPN subnet itself, it is routed over the vpn.

I have tried adding pull-filter ignore redirect-gateway and removing setenv opt block-outside-dns (in client configuration) but by doing so I remove access to the VPN LAN.

What is the proper way to configure this flavor of OpenVPN server to properly split the traffic?

Try using something like this in your .ovpn file...

route-nopull route 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0

The route should be for whatever remote network your are trying to connect to.

Thanks. In addition to that to get it working I had to comment out setenv opt block-outside-dns and add pull-filter ignore redirect-gateway.
