Use both OpenVPN & eth0 together
- by shadyabhi
I connect to a VPN using openVPN. Now, after the connection is established, all my traffic goes through tun0.
My LAN gateway is 10.100.98.4...
So, for apps to use my direct internet connnection I did
sudo route add default gw 10.100.98.4
But, I cant use tun0 now. I know this because
curl --interface tun0 google.com
doesnt give me anything..
How do I go about using both connections simultaneously. How can I achieve that?
ROUTING TABLES:-
Without VPN running:-
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.100.98.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0
default 10.100.98.4 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
With VPN:-
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.10.0.1 10.10.54.230 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 tun0
10.10.54.230 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 tun0
free-vpn.torvpn 10.100.98.4 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0
10.100.98.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0
default 10.10.54.230 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tun0
After the route command-
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.10.0.1 10.10.54.230 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 tun0

free-vpn.torvpn 10.100.98.4 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0
10.100.98.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0
default 10.100.98.4 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
