HI I tested OpenVPN server and it works fine I can route the lan subnets etc, however can I route all the traffic (Internet/ default) via it at all? Thanks ---

If you want a full tunnel for the remote client (OpenVPN server on Route10), you can add 0.0.0.0/1 and 128.0.0.0/1 to the allowed subnets section. ---

Hi @**[Alta-James](https://forum.alta.inc/u/alta-james)**, Thank you, can the kbs be update or the settings adjusted under vpn server, as currently it is confusing how to route all the traffic via open vpn and not only the lab subnets I tried to add 0.0.0.0/0 and it rejected, did not know I had to split the default route 🙂 Do you think it would be worth to add that setting in the VPN configuration, where with 1 click users can just route everything via the VPN? Interesting enough the wireguard server by default route all the traffic through itself Thank you
