OpenVPN push "redirect-gateway"
 

Hi,

I'm trying to redirect my default gateway of the phone via my openvpn server. But it's not working I always get:

NOTE: unable to redirect default gateway -- Cannot read current default gateway from system

Has anybody yet tried to configure a different gw via Openvpn?

Thank's for your help.

redirect-gateway should work when you're on wlan, but on cellular connection it doesn't work.

Issue is summarized pretty good in this thread:
http://openvpn.net/archive/openvpn-u.../msg00028.html

There is no default gateway address which openvpn would need. It's
possible to hack around it but there isn't really a good solution.

Hm.
So there is no "real" workaround just selfmade scripts. Will there be a solution in the future?

maemo-update-resolvconf

is also not working it always fails with:
script failed: external program fork failed

I have the same problem using cellular connection. So, there is no solution to fix this ?

Re: OpenVPN push "redirect-gateway"
 

No answers yet, so OpenVPN don't work with cellular(3G) connection at all ?

Re: OpenVPN push "redirect-gateway"
 

redirect-gateway option doesn't work. OpenVPN works otherwise.

Re: OpenVPN push "redirect-gateway"
 

As I understood from your post, it's possible to fix it...
I'm a noob in linux and programming, can you tell me, how I have to configure my openvpn to make it working with my cellular network

p.s. sorry for my bad english too )

Re: OpenVPN push "redirect-gateway"
 

sorry but the link in post #2 is all that I can say. I haven't tried the workarounds there myself.

Re: OpenVPN push "redirect-gateway"
 

bump.

I would love to have a proper solution myself. could a generic (wlan & 3g) working solution be included in the openvpn package? either build-in or via a sort of before/after connection script ?
thanks,
Geert
