How I can configure my Intranet-connecting VPN connention not to be used for connecting into anything outside of it?

  • 772

I have setup an Openvpn connection via network-manager on Ubuntu Mate 18.04LTS, the VPN is used for connecting into remote server via ssh without the need for having public-facing servers, the server serves a company intranet.

But when I connect into the server I am unable to connect into internet because the VPN server has no rules for directing the traffic into the internet. This behaviour is the expected one.

So how I can configure the vpn connection in order NOT to disconnect from the internet when I connect into it?

networking vpn openvpn ubuntu-mate 18.04
