    Openvpn to route ip-specific traffic

    First of all, does openvpn work in meego? I haven't found any good info on this matter.

    Secondly, given that it does work. Is it possible to configure openvpn so that all my internet traffic goes through my regular service provider except for ONE adress, which I would like to route through the VPN?

    Yes and yes. Check out the whole thread: http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=4226. Currently configuration or starting/stopping the service can't be done from the GUI, so you're left with the terminal app.

    Thank you. I read through that thread but I had a difficult time finding info regarding how I would set openvpn to route only IP-specific traffic through the VPN. Are there some kind of instruction for this or do I have to put the lab coat on?

    See http://www.secure-computing.net/wiki...penVPN/Routing

    You may only want to push a route to your private LAN subnet.

    Has anyone been able to get the /etc/network/if-up.d/openvpn script to work properly? The version provided by the openvpn package I am using (http://www.jlranta.com/stuff/openvpn...rmel_aegis.deb) does not work because IF_OPENVPN is not defined..

    I rolled my own script that fixes these issues, but I cannot use it to automate because of Aegis.

    I've been using my own if up/down scripts package for quite a long time now. UID::user is enough for executing the script. It might also need CAP::net_admin, if it does certain things with network interfaces. Correct digsigsums must be calculated too. I would suggest you to do your own scripts package. I might release my scripts package one day, but I haven't got any schedule for the release.

    I wasn't able to find instructions on how to package things outside of QT Creator last time I went to package the scripts myself. Have you been able to make progress towards a release?
