I have an OpenVPN Server on a Mikrotik router. I have created the .ovpn file and when I connect from a Windows Client, the connection is successful, but it does not route all traffic through the VPN. This is why I cannot access the IPs of my internal network, nor do I access the internet from the public IP of the Server. I have also tried with the OpenVPN client for Android and get the same result.
Searching online, I found that if I add the line "redirect-gateway def1" in the ovpn configuration file on the client, it should route all traffic through the VPN.
In the case of Android, it works, and I can now access the IPs of the internal network, as well as accessing the internet through the public IP of the Server.
But in the case of Windows Clients, it doesn't work. I have tried on different PCs, and with different versions of Windows.
When I look at the IP route tables, I see that the VPN client does not add its route with higher priority, maintaining the route with the gateway of my internet adapter as more prioritized.
All traffic should be routed through the VPN IP (10.70.0.1).
Could someone please help me? Thank you very much!
