Setup for an OpenVPN server which routes all traffic ("road-warrior")

First install and configure OpenVPN: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OpenVPN

I changed the OpenVPN server config to use tcp instead of udp.

Add these lines to /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf:

push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8"
push "redirect-gateway def1"

Check the necessary kernel options (can be set as M):

CONFIG_TUN
CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK 
CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES 
CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT

Enable IP forwarding in /etc/sysctl.conf:

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

Check that it is enabled:

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Enable on the fly:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

After each reboot:

modprobe iptable_nat
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.100.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
