[openvpn] routing at server side


First some introduction, i'm trying to use smtp over vpn. So i can use my smtp sever from my isp even if i'm not at home.

I installed openvpn2 at my server, slackware 10.1. I put the openvpn client on my winxp laptop. I followed the static guide on the openvpn site. The vpn connection is working because i can browse my shares on the server. But I don't get internet working. I suppose it had something to do with routing on my server.

My situation:

[server ip: 192.168.0.100/24 gw: 192.168.0.1 vpn: 192.168.1.1/30]
|
|
[router ip 192.168.0.1/24]
|
|
Internet
|
|
[Laptop ip: 145.91.101.159/25 gw: 145.91.101.254 vpn: 192.168.1.1]

My server.conf
Code:
dev tun
ifconfig 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2
secret /etc/openvpn/static.key
comp-lzo
keepalive 10 60
ping-timer-rem
persist-tun
persist-key
user nobody
group nobody
daemon
My client.conf
Code:
remote <server>
dev tun
ifconfig 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.1
secret "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\easy-rsa\\keys\\static.key"
comp-lzo
keepalive 10 60
ping-timer-rem
persist-tun
persist-key
route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0
ipconfig client:
Code:
Ethernet adapter VPN:

        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.2

        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

          inet addr:192.168.1.1  P-t-P:192.168.1.2  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
The question is, what to do on the server, and maybe the client, to use my home router (192.168.0.1) when sending mail.

Well. you could try using your 'server' as an smtp-proxy. send all your mail to this one, let it rewrite it, and send it out to the isp SMTP server.

Or you could use traceroute (tracert on windows) to see if the path to your isp is going 'through' the vpn..

Try posting the result of the tracert here..
