Forward internet traffic over openvpn?
My current setup is that I have an openvpn server running at home and a client running on my laptop. The connection works (I can ssh over it) but I want to forward my (web browsing) traffic over it as well. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? I'm running KDE if that helps.

You could setup a simple proxy server (eg tinyproxy) on the other end listening on an internal VPN IP, then just set your browser to use the proxy.

Re: Forward internet traffic over openvpn?
Another option would be to set your gateway to the far end of the vpn and make sure you enable routing on that box. That would make *all* traffic bound for the internet travel through the vpn. This may not be what you want.
One thing to watch with the proxy aproach is that while your web traffic is sent through the vpn, your dns lookups will stil be going through your isp making it possible to see which websites you have been to. There is an option in firefox to fix this if it bothers you.
