How to disable routing all network traffic through OpenVPN?












1















I installed OpenVPN on an Ubuntu machine at home, but when I connect to it, all my network traffic goes through it. I don't want this to happen.



I would like to be able to see only the local LAN network, but not routing all traffic.



How could this be done?



Thanks!

    Also remove any redirect-gateway line in your client config.

  • @TomYan The Client config does not have a redirect-gateway line. What should I do with the "--pull-filter ignore redirect-gateway"? Should I put it in the client config?

    You can either put it in the config (without the --) or use it when you run openvpn (e.g. openvpn --config path/to/config --pull-filter ignore redirect-gateway)

To condense Tom Yan's comments into an answer:




  • make sure there are no redirect-gateway lines in your client config

  • add the following line to filter out any redirect-gateway settings pulled from the VPN server:


pull-filter ignore redirect-gateway


The method is documented in https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/IgnoreRedirectGateway, but it only mentions the --pull-filter command-line parameter, not how to add it to a config file.
