With VPN (without redirect-gateway / broken / no connectivity):ĭescription.


: Intel(R) I211 Gigabit Network Connection no internet connectivity / DNS issue): Tracing route to 8.8.8.8 over a maximum of 30 hopsĭescription. Output of tracert -d 8.8.8.8 when the VPN is connected, but without redirect-gateway (i.e. I thought that was achievable via the removal of redirect-gateway and adding static routes instead. The main option I thought would work to only route VPN traffic through, is route 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0, and while that does give the machine access to the other machines on the VPN, I still lose internet connectivity.ĭo I have things misunderstood? I want all clients to only route VPN traffic through the VPN, and everything else through their regular routes. No matter what config I try, without that line, when connected to the VPN, I have no internet connectivity, and DNS timeouts everywhere. All I want from the VPN is the 10.8.0.x machines have regular, non-VPN connectivity, and can talk to each other.Īll connectivity is fine, until I try remove redirect-gateway.

On the VPN, the VPN server is 10.8.0.1, this machine is 10.8.0.2, and there will be about 5 other VPN clients on 10.8.0.x. That machine is on a super-fast connection in the office, which reaches a few 100mb download speed, but when fully connected to the VPN (with the default OpenVPN config with redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp), that can drop down as low as 20mb.

My main aim here is for one particular Windows 10 machine to be accessible from anywhere, if you're connected to the VPN.
