Hello.
I recently setup openVPN on a W2K8 server, it works just fine on all clients.
The problem is that the WAN IP of the clients' becomes the same as the WAN IP of the server, ie if I go to www.whatismyip.com and look at my ip from a client machine, it shows the server's wan IP.
This is bad because other apps that require port forwarding from the non-vpn wan IP cannot get in; ie pcanywhere.
How can I set the VPN to NOT give out its' WAN IP, or how can I disable it on the client side but maintain the connection? Thanks
