Okay, so I'm trying to setup a OpenVPN server and I've done it once before so I'm kind of a newbie. However I've gotten so far that I can on my client machine that I can connect but I can't browse internet/ping/do anything internet related just access my server.

Server Config: http://pastebin.com/Eju4Pifj

Client pc error log: http://pastebin.com/pPkxKGgZ (edited it out for my own safety)

Client config: 

    client
float
dev tun
tun-mtu 1500
mssfix
proto tcp
remote My.local&.Wan.IP 1194
tls-remote server
ca ca.crt
cert BlaBlabLa.crt
key BlaBlabLa.key
auth SHA1
nobind
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
verb 0
route My.local&.Wan.IP 255.255.255.255 net_gateway
route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
verb 5

My servers local & remote ip in the config/log files = My.local&.Wan.IP

And ***.***.***.*** = (I think) my routers ip

You have to enable ip forwarding. To enable ip forwarding set net.ipv4.ip_forward as 1

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

To make this config permanent add this line to /etc/sysctl.conf

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

And lastly add MASQUERADE rule to iptables.

iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat -s 10.0.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE

Then your clients can connect internet using your vpn tunnel.

  • For windows vista and windows 7, you have to add these two lines to your client config and you have to run openvpn client with admin permissions. route-method exe route-delay 2
