I just setup a VPN server with OpenVPN. It seems to work so far.
I created a client configuration and keys on my Debian/KDE computer and when I start the VPN client through command-line:
sudo openvpn --config ~/client.ovpn
The VPN connects and I can ping VPN devices and Internet:
ping 10.8.x.x #works
ping example.com #works, because not redirected through the VPN
After, I am configuring the VPN client through the "Configure Network connections" by "Add new connection" and then "Import VPN connection"
This connects correctly, and I can ping VPN local devices, but I can't reach Internet because all traffic attempt to go through the VPN
ping 10.8.x.x #Works
ping example.com #Does not works -> trying to go through the VPN
Due to this, I suspect the KDE VPN management to add some redirecting rule. But I could not find how to avoid it.I am looking for some "Use this connection only for resources on its network" or similar configuration.
The client configuration is:
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote <VPN-SERVER-IP> 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
remote-cert-tls server
cipher AES-256-CBC
verb 3
tls-auth ta.key 1
Question
How to avoid the KDE VPN GUI to redirect all internet through the VPN?
