Traffic on VPN Server via VPN Client

[Luis Castillo]

Hi,

I setup a VPN server in my AC3100. I set the option to redirect internet which works fine on my ISP connection. What I'd like is this redirection to utilize a VPN connection that's in place on the router and I haven't been successful. Is this possible?

Thank you

Unfortunately, no. Looks like my connection is still going through WAN and bypassing the VPN client

I got it to work by adding this custom line: push "redirect-gateway tun15"
I also added 10.8.0.0/24 to the VPN client routes

Did you enable Policy routing for the VPN Client instance with the appropriate OpenVPN server subnet(s) ?

That's what I was missing. After enabling the routing for the subnet, it worked. Thanks for your help!

Also, rather than hard-code the subnet/IP addresses in the Policy Rules GUI, I also find it useful to be able to exploit OpenVPN's Server client-connect script to dynamically add the 'passthru' routing based on the individual inbound connecting clients 'username'
