Hi I have just set up an ecrypted connection (with OpenVPN) between my laptop and router currently all traffic goes down the vpn. I would like to allow ssh traffic to bypass the vpn. The situation is this: Router: Laptop: 192.168.0.1 - tun0 192.168.0.2 - tun0 | | 10.44.10.1 - eth0 10.44.10.2 - eth0 | | --------------------------------------------------------- The default route on the laptop is set to 192.168.0.1 so all traffic is automatically sent encrypted. I need to be able to send everything but ssh down the vpn(with the possibility for https later on). I beleive that this would have to happen before routing took place. OpenVPN is on udp/5000. I would be very grateful for any assistance. Richard
