ssh, virtual machine do not go through openvpn

Hi everyone,

I have a remote server that I use as VPN server with openvpn. The server is configured with:

push "redirect-gateway def1"

so I don't have to fiddle with route commands on the local machine.

When I check my IP address online, with http://geoiptool.com/ or with:

dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com

the remote server's IP address is shown.

Yet when I ssh into the server (as evidence by the Last login field of the welcome message) or when I use VirtualBox, my true IP address is show.

What gives? Help much appreciated.

Re: ssh, virtual machine do not go through openvpn

In VirtualBox, changing the network from "bridged adapter" to NAT solves the issue. Remains ssh...
