Goal: force all traffic through VPN only.
Client: Windows in VMware
VPN: OpenVPN
I delete the 0.0.0.0 route in Windows. I make a persistent route to the OpenVPN server with my LAN the gateway (192.168.1.1). So in theory, when I turn on OpenVPN client on windows, it would connect to OpenVPN server, which would then establish a new VPN connection. And when the VPN connection drops, all traffic stops.
However, I am unable to connect to OpenVPN server, although I can ping it. The admin openvpn portal even shows "Current Active Users: 1" when I attempt to connect, but eventually drops off. So this means I can communicate with the server, but it wont establish a connection. What am I doing wrong?
Note: I was able to replicate the same scenario in a windows VM with softether client and a third party VPN and can connect successfully.
Pics of network, note the .78 ip is the openvpn server: View: https://i.imgur.com/zDN5gvR.png
Pics of server logs, doesnt look like anything wrong. Attempting to connect looks like a normal connection: View: https://i.imgur.com/4E5179X.png
