If you've followed the steps presented above, your configuration should be finished. But as with any other configuration, it is always wise to test the setup in order to make sure that it works properly. In order to test this particular configuration, a few steps have to be taken:
If you've followed the steps presented above, your configuration should be finished. But as with any other configuration, it is always wise to test the setup in order to make sure that it works properly. In order to test this particular configuration, a few steps have to be taken:
* Check the newly created routing table with the '''ip route show table rt''' command (where ''rt'' is table's name). If everything is in order, the response should contain this line: <br> <pre>default via 10.0.0.5 dev <span style="color:red">tun_c_MyClient</span> proto static </pre>
* Check the newly created routing table with the '''ip route show table rt''' command (where ''rt'' is table's name). If everything is in order, the response should contain this line (values highlighted in red should be from your own configuration):
default via <span style="color:red">10.0.0.5</span> dev <span style="color:red">tun_c_MyClient</span> proto static
* Check whether the correct IP rule has been added. You can do this with the '''ip rule'''. The response should look something like this (the rule from our configuration is highlighted in red):
0: from all lookup local
0: from all lookup local
<span style="color:red">10: from 192.168.2.128/25 iif br-lan lookup rt</span>
<span style="color:red">10: from 192.168.1.128/25 iif br-lan lookup rt</span>
32766: from all lookup main
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default
32767: from all lookup default
* Check whether devices with IPs from different ranges reach the Internet through the default gateway. If you only have one device at your disposal at the time, you can configure a static IP address (guide for Linux users '''[[Setting up a Static IP address on a Ubuntu 16.04 PC|here]]'''; for Windows '''[[Setting up a Static IP address on a Windows 10 PC|here]]''') for that device in one range and later in the other. According to our configuration, if a device's IP falls in the range of 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.127, its Public IP should be that of the router's; if the IP falls in the range of 192.168.1.128 - 192.168.1.254, its Public IP should be that of the OpenVPN server. You can check the Public IP address in '''[http://www.whatsmyip.org/ this website].
