Sorry for the delay, but notification e-mails of new posts have been failing so yours got stuck under moderation.

If you want to send all traffic through the OpenVPN then have a look at the app docs (the slanted book icon). There is a one line change you can make to /etc/openvpn/clients.conf. It is planned to add this to the webconfig at some point. Otherwise the only traffic which goes through OpenVPN is traffic destined for your LAN.

    All the extra option does is stop pushing DHCP traffic down the VPN. Normally this should stay local as it affects the phone/PC/laptop getting an IP from the LAN it is connected to. I don't know if this affects phones using data connections because they may be PPP and not DHCP. It would affect a phone or PC/Laptop connecting via a LAN.

    Worked like a champ, I've had OPNVPN running for sometime & it did what I wanted to do, however with all my travel these days I'm all over the US & if your as concerned as I am about big tech tracking now it's looks like I'm at home all the time :)
