openvpn : Initialization Sequence Completed but my ip was not changed

J.A.X · 06-01-2012, 06:23 PM

Hello all,

I'm running F17, I've an openvpn installed and configured ( I think ) as it should, my problem is that when I issue the command :

PHP Code:



openvpn /etc/openvpn/service.config

I get " Initialization Sequence Completed "

but when I try to surf the internet using my pre-installed firefox my IP (as google says is the smae) still the same.

I've tried to change firefox settings to proxy 127.0.0.1 prot 1194 (openvpn port)

and I got proxy refusing the connection messege

I'm not even sure whats my problem is it openvpn is not configured properly or I'm not configuring proxy setting on firefox properly.

please help

I believe you need:

Code:

push "redirect-gateway def1"

in there to forward all traffic through the vpn.

I only found this because I have the exact same problem but i do have this in my config file, please tell me if you found anything else wrong or another way you fixed it.

Hi, I found the problem if anyone else is stuck too, you can only "push" server to client so you need

Code:

redirect-gateway def1

in the client config file.
