Re: OpenVPN not masking users public IP (to the public IP of the gateway)
I came across the old post when I was trying to figure out how to resolve my client showing its own public ip instead of my network.
I use the OpenVPN to connect to devices in my lan, previously I used Netgear's very easy setup so it took me a while on pfsense just to get it running.
I was satisfied that I could connect to my lan but unsure what it meant to have my clients public ip showing when for a year I was always showing my lans public ip when use the open vpn from my netgear router
when i was following the manual set up for my paid vpn provider i came to the Additional steps to route wan through tunnel
I had to
select Interfaces and click (assign).
click the + and pick my openvpn in my case it was OPT1 and click save
Navigate to Interfaces > OPT1
General Configuration
Enable: Check this box
save and applyI then connected from my client and check my public ip and it was SOLVED!!!!
