OpenVPN Robust and flexible VPN network tunnelling Brought to you by: dazo

pull-filter ignore "redirect-gateway def1" redirect-gateway (Note: When interactive service is in use, def1 will get forced. Currently there is no way out of this. That said, why def1 does not work is worth investigating. Use of block-outside-dns on windows 10 is a good idea anyway as it prevents dns leaks). Strangely SIGHUP restart does not fail as it would be expected if the default route disappears. I never noticed this before may be because I always use --redirect-gateway def1. Logs show all the right bits are there (log snippet copied below) but the routing table shows (after openvpn exit) The OpenVPN Server "push redirect-gateway def1" command is the same as adding the command "redirect-gateway def1" to the ovpn file. I've done this many times in both a full OpenVPN server and the ovpn config file. Make sure you delete the old VPN Config and then import the changed ovpn file. I can see the problem. The most elegant solution might be to use "redirect-gateway def1". The "def1" flag instructs the code to not add a 0.0.0.0/0 route (replacing and later restoring the existing default route) but to add 0.0.0.0/1 and 128.0.0.0/1 routes - which cover "the default" as well, but do not need to interfere with the existing /0 route. The service deletes all added routes when the client process (openvpn) exits, causing the re-instated default route to disappear. Fix by rewriting "--redirect-gateway" to "--redirect-gateway def1" when routes are set using interactive service. Only the behaviour on Windows with intereactive service is affected. In addition, I am using the redirect-gateway def1 flag in the advanced section of the openvpn client. Here are the results: When I have squid set for transparent proxy, the entire network is routed through the VPN. If I leave out the redirect-gateway def1 flag, then the entire network is routed out the WAN. I didn't fully understand what you wrote. You can use it to connect to your own OpenVPN server or a commercial OpenVPN provider. .auth /^redirect-gateway/s/^/#/ \$ a redirect-gateway def1 ipv6 "$

–redirect-gateway flags… Automatically execute routing commands to cause all outgoing IP traffic to be redirected over the VPN. This is a client-side option.This option performs three steps: (1) Create a static route for the –remote address which forwards to the pre-existing default gateway. If you have access to the openVPN server add this directive to the openvpn config: push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp" This setting will route/force all traffic to pass through the VPN. The other alternative you have. Is to add a static route yourself on the client side. Add the route manually on the client side in a terminal

Mar 01, 2017 · For my Windows using colleagues however, it’s not quite so simple. They must edit their OpenVPN config file and manual add the following line to the end, before restarting their VPN connection. redirect-gateway def1 This file is often just called client.ovpn.

push "redirect-gateway def1" push "remote-gateway vpn_server_ip" push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8" keepalive 10 60 and in client.ovpn: push "redirect-gateway def1" Also, if it helps, I am using an AWS EC2 instance to run my VPN. I'm not sure what else to do next. Hopefully, someone can figure this out :) Thanks in advance! Server and Client Posted: Tue Jan 26, 2010 1:58 Post subject: push "redirect-gateway def1": i want to use this option on the dd-wrt router in openvpn_config. so far i can connect to it with it's current config and if i add this i read on openvpn i need to route it to the Internet. openvpn gives the impression that it thinks your running openvpn on a computer behind the router and not on the router itself. so
