Hi Everyone,

My dad lives in another country and I did setup a OpenVPN Server in his router that is connected to his internet.

Here in my house, I connected my GL.iNET Opal to his VPN. I see a message of connected and the IP my GL.iNET got.

I am connecting my Laptop to the GL.iNET Wi-Fi.

How could I navigate the internet from my laptop but using his internet ? I need go find a way to direct my traffic to the VPN but I am not sure how …

Any direction is very much appreciated

Thanks  
mCG

I think you might be doing that already.

Can you check your public IP and see which country it belongs to?
