Routing data through VPN in linux
- by Shadyabhi
I think its a silly question but still here it goes..
Terminal Output:

Actually, I followed this tutorial to setup the PacketiX VPN on ubuntu.
Now, how do I actually use this VPN?
Terminal Output:
shadyabhi@shadyabhi-desktop:~$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.100.98.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0
default 10.100.98.4 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
shadyabhi@shadyabhi-desktop:~$
As told in tutorial, if I do
route del default
route add default dev vpn_0
I am not able to surf the internet. And I get the route command output as:
root@shadyabhi-desktop:/home/shadyabhi# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.100.98.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0
default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 vpn_0
root@shadyabhi-desktop:/home/shadyabhi#
I know I am not able to route the traffic properly. How do i do that?
