I'm trying to connect to connect to OpenVPN server from my Ubuntu 11.10 machine. I use the following command to do it (under root user):
openvpn --config /home/vladimir/client.ovpn
Everything seems to be OK, it connects normally without any warnings and errors, but when I try to browse the internet I see that I still use my own IP address, so VPN connection doesn't work. When I run openvpn command, it displays the following message among others:
NOTE: unable to redirect default gateway -- Cannot read current default gateway from system
I think it's the cause of this problem, but unfortunately I don't know how to fix it.
Below is full output of openvpn command:

So my question is - how to make OpenVPN redirect default gateway?
Thanks!
