I currently have an EC2 server with OpenVPN installed that I spun up using the official OpenVPN Access Server AMI.



I went through the OpenVPN setup process with all default values selected and I've been able to connect to my instance using the Windows client I downloaded from the VPN server.



My purpose is to use the VPN server to connect to the internet. I will be going to a country where certain websites and services are blocked and need the VPN server to bypass the firewalls in place. I do not plan on using the VPN server to access any private networks.



I have updated my OpenVPN Access Server settings to force it to route all internet traffic and to have its clients use the same DNS servers as the access server host:



enter image description here



I have also enabled IP forwarding on my EC2 instance with the following command:



echo 'net.ipv4.ip_forward=1' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf


With the above settings, I am unable to connect to the internet when I am connected to my VPN. If I turn off Should client internet traffic be routed through the VPN, I can connect to the internet, but I would be connected through my original ISP IP address.



What else do you need to do here to enable OpenVPN to route all internet traffic?

  • Can you check after connecting to vpn server, if the client routing table get successfully updated? If you don't see a default route pointing to the vpn server, then there is a problem.
