Hello all,
I am running Kamikaze 8.0.9.1 on Asus 500gP. I've established a VPN tunnel using OpenVPN. The tunnel is on interface tap0. OpenVPN pushes a route for the accessing the VPN. I can access the VPN from the router. I've tried to add iptables rules to let my LAN access the VPN but I've been unsuccessful. I've tried to follow the PPTP howto from the old wiki. Ha anyone attempted this and succeded?
Thank you
Topic: Route traffic through VPN tunnel

Do you have something like this?
iptables -A FORWARD -i br-lan -o tap0 -j ACCEPT
Does 'iptables -L FORWARD -v' show any hits?
Another thing to check- does the other end of the tunnel have a route back to your LAN (192.168.1.0/24 by default)?
Hope this helps,
Charlie
Yeah, I had that rule.
There's no way the other end of the tunnel could have a route to my LAN.
It's a tunnel to the 1.0.0.0 network, the so-called anonet. I was using to test VPN, I am thinking of subscribing to a paid VPN service.
If the far end can't route to your LAN, then you'll need to SNAT outbound traffic to the tunnel address-
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o tap0 -j MASQUERADE
Cheers,
Charlie
