Jan 10, 2010 · The secret lies in the default gateway. If you use the local default gateway, Internet traffic will be routed via the local connection. If you use the remote default gateway, Internet traffic goes through the remote connection. By default, Windows VPN connections use the remote gateway – but changing the default is very easy. May 14, 2012 · Guys I really need help here. I am about to punc this screen. I have a very simple VPn server set up on my windows 2003 server machine. When using my Windows 7 computer to connect to the VPN, i get an Ip address but no default gateway it's either 0.0.0.0 with "User route on default gateway" checked, or blank when it's not checked. For the OpenVPN administrator, this is the place where you will be configuring most of the settings of the OpenVPN Access Server. The admin UI is protected by a user name/password combination. By default the Access Server sets up a user by the name of “openvpn". Re: [SOLVED] OpenVPN default gateway. when the vpn connection is established, and you add the default route entry, all traffic goes through the tap0 device, that includes the connection traffic for the vpn itself. so be changing the default route, the vpn connection breaks resulting in destination host unreachable.
Dec 28, 2017 · Redirecting the default gateway¶ OpenVPN also allows the default gateway to be redirected across the VPN, so all non-local traffic from the client is sent through the VPN. This is great for untrusted local networks such as wireless hotspots, as it provides protection against numerous attacks that are a risk on untrusted networks.
Apr 07, 2015 · If i can clarify, the default behavior when creating a manual VPN connection results in the setting: Networking > IPv4 > Properties > Advanced > IP Settings > "Use default gateway on remote network" to be selected. This is a desired setting i believe in most cases. No parameters added: In this case, OpenVPN will replace the existing default gateway (0.0.0.0/0) with the address of the OpenVPN server itself. An extra route to the OpenVPN server itself is also added so that the OpenVPN traffic itself is sent directly to the server, instead of via the tunnel.

This is great for untrusted local networks such as wireless hotspots, as it provides protection against numerous attacks that are a risk on untrusted networks. Pushing the redirect-gateway option to clients will cause all IP network traffic originating on client machines to pass through the OpenVPN server. The server will need to be configured to deal with this traffic somehow, such as by NATing it to the internet, or routing it through the server site's HTTP proxy. I created a transparent VPN Internet gateway tunnel (sorry, couldn’t come up with a better name for it) using OpenVPN and my new Odroid-C1 Linux mini computer. However, this will work with any Linux PC (including the Raspberry Pi). The beauty of a transparent VPN gateway is that a device in the LAN doesn’t have to know anything about the VPN.
