openvpnwindows
is it possible to configure Windows 7 to connect to a OpenVPN Server using a different network interface.
My setup:
1. LAN -> public ip
2. LAN -> public ip
3. Tun -> private VPN
now i want that lan1 is used for normal surfing and lan2 is used for the tunnel.
Is this possible to configure?
tun or tap devices are the network adapters of the openvpn tunnel, like eth0 is for the LAN or tap adapter for a modem connection. They are assigned an IP by the vpn server.
To open a port on the Windows Firewall:
Open Windows Firewall by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type firewall, and then click Windows Firewall.
In the left pane, click Advanced settings. Administrator permission required If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
In the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security dialog box, in the left pane, click Inbound Rules, and then, in the right pane, click New Rule.
Follow the instructions in the New Inbound Rule wizard.
ICMP rules will just need to be enabled:

The VPN gateway is routed just like everything else. All you need is to add a route pointing to the VPN gateway, leading out the preferred NIC.
The
<default gateway IP>needs to be the local default gateway for the NIC in question, the<interface number>you can get withroute print. You can omit theif <interface number>when the default gateway isn't reachable from the other NIC.
