I'm using this router as a VPN gateway so everything that is connected to it is routed through VPN.

What settings do I need in addition to make this work? All traffic is still showing my ISP ip address.

Thank you in advance.

  • Would you mind posting the complete OpenVPN log?

    You should be able to access this by clicking the Status tab in your router (left side of the screen), and then clicking the Logs link. On the screen in the white area under Logs, please click on View All. Please copy and paste the log text in your next reply, and I'll be glad to take a look at what's going on here!
  • Certainly and thank you for your assistance.

  • Would you mind posting the complete OpenVPN log?

    You should be able to access this by clicking the Status tab in your router (left side of the screen), and then clicking the Logs link. On the screen in the white area under Logs, please click on View All. Please copy and paste the log text in your next reply, and I'll be glad to take a look at what's going on here!
    Hi PIAColleen - anything from the above logs that jumps out ?

    Thank you
  • Hi there @p7335352, I'm so sorry about this! Looks like the tag didn't take, and I didn't see this thread until just now. It looks like OpenVPN is initializing properly, so the client configuration itself is fine. However, since there's still no data passing through the VPN tunnel, there's likely a routing issue at play here. 

    Please navigate to Tools>Commands in the Tomato GUI, and paste the result of the following commands into your reply:

    route -n
    ifconfig -a


     If you ever need to tag me again, just append an @ to my forum handle (@PIAColleen) and I'll be notified by email.

  • They don’t care, support is non existent, I’m in the same situation as you. She didn’t even bother to reply to me!
  •  According to those logs and the routing table, it seems everything should be working fine.

    You've got a PIA IP, a route to the other end of the VPN and two routes going through the VPN that are more specific than the default one. You have no IPv6 so IPv6 leaking is improbable.

    Have you tried clearing your browser cache or using an incognito window to check the IP, just to be sure?

    PIAColleen will be in tomorrow so she'll dig deeper with you but Linux-speaking, that looks perfectly fine to me :/
  • Hi @Max-P

    Thanks for your comments, i've tried all the above but to no avail... I'm sure we'll get there :-) 

    Do I need to set a routing policy on my primary rooter ?

    Regards,
    Simon.
  • @p7335352 No, you shouldn't really need to set up anything on the primary router. The log shows a successful connection, and for it to reach this stage at all it has to have talked to the VPN server and got everything it needs.

    In your case, it just looks like it's not sending anything to the VPN at all in the first place.

    One way we could possibly force it to try the VPN would be to remove the default gateway. You can temporarily do this with this command:
    route del default
    And then see if the VPN is being used at all this way. To revert this change, just reboot the router and it will put it back. But before reverting, can you paste us the logs as well as the two commands @PIAColleen asked for again after doing that so we can have a look at the updated state of things?

    @Max-P ; & @PIAColleen

    Forgive me for being a complete noob. where would i enter this ?

    administration > Scripts ?
    (didn't work when i tried this)

    I really do appreciate your time in assisting me and advanced apologies for the lack of understanding on the router configuration. 

    Many thanks & my regards,
    Simon.


  • @p4650705- did you manage to sort it mate ?

    I've had a few hours trawling the internet but to no avail. 

    I'm going to change vpn provider if i cant get it working.
