The figure above depicts the OpenVPN traffic split scheme. A RUTxxx router acts as an OpenVPN client and is connected to a remote OpenVPN server. The routers LAN IP addresses range form 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254. The devices in the 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.127 range connect to the Internet via the OpenVPN server

The figure above depicts the OpenVPN traffic split scheme. A RUTxxx router acts as an OpenVPN client (virtual IP: '''10.0.0.6'''; P-t-P: '''10.0.0.5''') that is connected to a remote OpenVPN server. The routers LAN IP addresses range from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254.

When the scheme is realized, L2TP packets between the endpoints are encapsulated by IPsec. Since the L2TP packet itself is wrapped and hidden within the IPsec packet, the original source and destination IP address is encrypted within the packet.

When the scheme is realized, Devices in the 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.127 IP range reach the Internet via the router's WAN and devices in the 192.168.1.128 to 192.168.1.254 IP range reach the Internet via the OpenVPN server effectively "adopting" the server's Public IP address.
