Route all traffic through Araknis Router when using Open VPN
When using Open VPN with an Araknis router you may wish to amend the configuration so that all traffic passes through the VPN, especially if you are connecting from overseas and need to present a local IP address to the website you are connecting to.
To do this:
Open the .ovpn config file that is downloaded from the router in
Notepad or Notepad++, and add “redirect-gateway def1” to the top section as
shown below. This should route all traffic through the VPN.
