[kubuntu] Route most traffic over VPN and a few through normal connection?

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Ok this is the situation. I currently use a VPN service to route all the traffic from my computer through. Sadly some sites have blocked all traffic from the VPN providers IP range. So i need to route some traffic via my normal ISP link and the rest via the OpenVPN link. Running Kubuntu 12.04 64bit and set up the OpenVPN link using the GUI. Never had to try anything like this before.... so any advice about how i would go about this would be greatly apreciated (Hardware)

Stories similar to [kubuntu] Route most traffic over VPN and a few through normal connection?

I'm having trouble setting up a private VPN to route all traffic from my clients through my VPS linux box in another country. I'm able to connect successfully and ping the internal IP of the VPN, but my client's Internet traffic still goes out through its local ISP (i.e.

I'm using a virtual Ubuntu Server (on Amazon EC2) and I want to connect to a PPTP VPN server to route outgoing traffic through this connection. To do this, I specify the following two options:

defaultroute replacedefaultroute

This works - but the moment the tunnel to route the traffic is established, my SSH connection to the server is broken and I can't reconnect.

Is there a way to configure OpenVPN clients to route traffic for HTTP port 80 and HTTPS port 443 directly (i.e. not through the VPN), but through the regular default gateway the clients have.

I often work remotely. I use the Network Manager to set up my VPN connection, which has worked pretty well. The VPN I have set up currently using the Password with Certificates (TLS) type.

Hello, I am using my linux router successfully since several month now as a OpenVPN client + PPPoE DSL router. All traffic from every client behind the router is directly passed through a OpenVPN connection.

But I wanted to have some services run on the router too like SSH and others, and I want them to be accessible from out WAN side, like normal when there wouldn't be any VPN link.

I've set up an OpenVPN server on a VPS (ubuntu 11.04) and configured clients (mix of ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04) to use it. After starting the VPN connection on the client, all internet traffic gets routed trough the VPS.

I would like to route only some of the traffic trough this setup.

Hi. I've been googling for some time now and without any clear results. I only want to route the rtorrent traffic through openvpn. From what i can find on the interwebz it is possible but i cant find a clear guide to it.

I'm quite the noob on openvpn but i managed to setup the tunnel.

I have an Ubuntu Box on my LAN that I would like to:

Send all external traffic over an OpenVPN connection (tun0) Deny all external traffic if the OpenVPN connection should fail Allow all internal traffic to my 192.168.0.0 network

Any ideas on where I can get some example iptables configurations for this type of setup?

I setup my Scientific Linux 6.2 as an OpenVPN client via the instructions here, and restarted my OpenVPN service. I checked /var/log/messages and it says the VPN connection was established. However, now I cannot make any connections out of my computer!
