With OpenVPN on macOS, I have the option to check to send all traffic through the VPN.
With Windows 10 (v1803), I do not have this option.
Does anyone know if OpenVPN 2.4.6 will automatically send all traffic through the VPN? I don't want *any* traffic to not go through the VPN for security purposes.
On my VPN, it's an option on the VPN server which includes the appropriate entry in the config file to send all traffic via VPN:
You can use What Is My IP Address - Everything You Need to Know to determine if the IP address is that from the VPN or the local IP address.
It's showing the VPN address for my home router (used it while traveling). I used the pfSense wizard to configure it, and on the server side it's set for all traffic to go through the VPN.
I'm using Windscribe and all I have to do is open the program, set the location and it does the rest.
@ericnixmd OpenVPN does send all traffic through the tunnel by default in Windows - but when you get disconnected for some reason that is not the case. To avoid leaks you should either use a killswitch, or configure sensitive apps to be blocked outside the tunnel by firewall. I personally prefer the latter.
