Hi,
I'm trying to set up an OpenVPN VPN, which will carry some (but not all) traffic from the clients to the internet via the OpenVPN server.
My OpenVPN server has a public IP on eth0, and is using tap0 to create a local network, 192.168.2.x. I have a client which connects from local IP 192.168.1.101 and gets VPN IP 192.168.2.3.
On the server, I ran:
iptables -A INPUT -i tap+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i tap+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
On the client, the default remains to route via 192.168.1.1. In order to point it to 192.168.2.1 for HTTP, I ran
ip rule add fwmark 0x50 table 200
ip route add table 200 default via 192.168.2.1
iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -j MARK -p tcp --dport 80 --set-mark 80
Now, if I try accessing a website on the client (say, wget google.com), it just hangs there. On the server, I can see
$ sudo tcpdump -n -i tap0
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on tap0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes
05:39:07.928358 IP 192.168.1.101.34941 > 74.125.67.100.80: S 4254520618:4254520618(0) win 5840 <mss 1334,sackOK,timestamp 558838 0,nop,wscale 5>
05:39:10.751921 IP 192.168.1.101.34941 > 74.125.67.100.80: S 4254520618:4254520618(0) win 5840 <mss 1334,sackOK,timestamp 559588 0,nop,wscale 5>
Where 74.125.67.100 is the IP it gets for google.com .
Why isn't the MASQUERADE working? More precisely, I see that the source showing up as 192.168.1.101 -- shouldn't there be something to indicate that it came from the VPN?
Edit: Some routes [from the client]
$ ip route show table main
192.168.2.0/24 dev tap0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.2.4
192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.101 metric 2
169.254.0.0/16 dev wlan0 scope link metric 1000
default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 proto static
$ ip route show table 200
default via 192.168.2.1 dev tap0
