OpenVPN UDP and TCP Traffic Fowarding

openvpn

It's been a while since I've used OpenVPN, but using the TUN configuration, how would one go about sending all TCP and UDP traffic over the VPN? Would I need two VPN Clients and Servers running? Here's my current client config:

client
dev tun
proto tcp
remote myvpnhost.com 8080   

resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun

ca "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\easy-rsa\\ca.crt"
cert "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\easy-rsa\\laptop.crt"
key "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\easy-rsa\\laptop.key"
ns-cert-type server

#ping 10
#ping-restart 60

route-delay 2

This line: proto tcp means that your client will communicate with your OpenVPN server through TCP.

Your traffic (UDP & TCP) is already going through your OpenVPN TCP-based tunnel.
