      Can we turn it off - then I should be able to use internet through your connection

      if your friend is not on 192.168.1.0 or 192.168.2. which you used for your tunnel network you should be fine.  Other than fact I don't believe china will allow outbound connection on udp 1194 which is the default openvpn port..

          Not for changing an IP you wouldn't  All you needed to do was change the lan IP to new network.

              No that is a COMMON network.. something NOT common..  I use 10.0.8.0/24 for one of mine, and 10.0.200.0/24 for the other one.. I run openvpn both on tcp 443, and udp 1194

              Pick something out of the rfc1918 space that you feel is not common! but using the first networks in the space is very common.  Every soho router I have seen defaults to 192.168.0.0/24 or 192.168.1.0/24 etc.. ;)  Not good networks to use if you might have other users connecting to you via vpn.

              Then the next few are used because it makes sense.. So I have 3 segments on my network lan, wlan and dmz - I use 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24 and 192.168.3.0/24

              So if you want to make sure your not going to step on such a setup on the remote side.. You would want to use something odd ball like the 172.18.14.0/24 network I just pulled out of thin air ;)

              Which I am off next week, might be about time I changed my address space around to be outside norm when helping people like you.

                  Yup rocking internet through your connection.. As you can see when connected I show your IP, 5.x.x.x and when not connected I show my normal IP.

                  your not handing out dns.. So unless they can pull dns from their local connection still you could have issues, and they won't be able to resolve anything on your eve.local as you had it before.

                  Hand out your pfsense lan IP if your using dns forwarder.  Also Just becuase you use some random high port does not mean china would not block that.  Most companies block uncommon ports outbound.

                  For example in a network, you might only be able to to http and https outbound.  Or you might even have to use a proxy.  Which is nice that openvpn can bounce off a proxy, etc.  But some random 30K port is unlikely to be allowed outbound from china??  But hey you can try.

                  But as you can see your currently routing outbound to the internet through your vpn connection.  Now if any local resources you would like me to verify – just send me details.

                      Yeah that should work..

                      Just send your friend the installer package because they unlikely to have openvpn installed.

                      If you want you can send to me with your hostname config zip and I can test that for you.

                      Have Fun!!!

                      If does not work with your high udp port, try tcp 443 or 80..  If that does not work then have to work out what can get through the china firewall - happy to help if you run into more questions.

                          That is not working?  I resolve the address just fine.. I can PM you the IP it resolve too.  But timing out connecting
