OpenVPN (WM6) connects but anyhow doesn't work...

[roke]

Hi,

I have a HP Ipaq 210 series PDA with WM6 and trying to get OpenVPN to work for allowing me to connect the our university network.

After presenting my user data, OpenVPN says "connected" and displays the green symbol. Nevertheless my browsers (PIE, Opera Mobile) or any other internet app is able to "go outside".

Do I have to tell Windows or the browser to use the VPN-tunnel anyhow? I just don't know how to proceed.

Any information that could help me?

Kind regards,
roke

Can somebody please at least indicate how the configuration in the windows connection manager should be? ISP/work and so on? network device should connect to work/ISP? Configuration of OpenVPN: Use connection manager? On which network? Exclusive? ...

I just don't know what else I can do. The admins responsible for the VPN are bloody amateurs and don't know anything about windows mobile...
Help me please... :)

Regards,
roke

I have not tried openvpn on the ppc, but i run some openvpn connections for my company.

The openvpn server is configured to push the various parameters to the client, essentially that is the ip address ranges which should pass through the vpn and any DNS servers. (Excepted for bridged mode, where the ipaddress will be in the same subnet as the main site.)

From the Openvpn web site :"By default, when an OpenVPN client is active, only network traffic to and from the OpenVPN server site will pass over the VPN. General web browsing, for example, will be accomplished with direct connections that bypass the VPN." Why would you want it any other way?

What is it that is not working?
Can you access the sites and resources with the openvpn connection?
Can you access the sites on the openvpn server side by ipaddress?
