openvpn-install VS Whonix

https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install or if you want to be free from your distro's OpenSSL version: https://github.com/ix-ai/openvpn (recommended, just rebuild the container if it becomes outdated)

Buy your own cloud server and run https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install to make it TCP over 443

Hey! I set up an OpenVPN Server on an Ubuntu Server VM inside ESXi 6.7 using this script: https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install I need to access the local services running on the, e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx, which works just fine. But I dont want all my network traffic being routed through the VPN Server. So if i reach out to 192.168.xxx.xxx I get the Service running on this IP in the local network where the server is in, but if I try to reach e.g. google.com the request does not get routed through the VPN. How can I achieve this? OpenVPN-Host: Ubuntu Server 22.04.3 LTS | OpenVPN 2.5.5 Connecting Client: EndeavourOS | OpenVPN 2.6.6

EDIT: I should add that the setup was done with angristan's OpenVPN installer. There's nothing particularly interesting about the conf files.

Very good, does it support https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install ?

Pretty trivial actually. I set up my server on a VPS with https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install, it generates the configs that I deployed to my devices, and when connected they can see each other. For resolving the domain name you'd need to set up the DNS during the wizard.

i made an issue about it: https://github.com/Whonix/Whonix/issues/443

But I find that Tor Browser is more than enough for simple surfing. And Whonix exists if you want to run some other software (curl/youtube-dl) over tor. Anything except bittorrent.*
