Yep, this question has been asked a hundred times, and I have searched everywhere, to no avail.

The title says it all really.

I have an OpenVPN server (On ubuntu), and I can connect to it through my client (Windows 8) ...

The problem starts when I try to route ALL traffic through the VPN.

I have added the push flags in server.conf:

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

When I connect from the client, the client outputs:

Wed May 07 21:38:40 2014 SENT CONTROL [StretchVPN-CA]: 'PUSH_REQUEST' (status=1)
Wed May 07 21:38:41 2014 PUSH: Received control message: 'PUSH_REPLY,redirect-gateway def1,dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8,route-gateway <Remote Router IP>,ping 10,ping-restart 120,ifconfig 192.168.0.201 255.255.255.0'

I have tried using the flags on the client side when opening the connection:

openvpn --config "C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config\client.ovpn" --redirect-gateway def1 --route-method exe

But still, when I go to whatsmyip.org, it still says my clients ip.

Has anyone had this problem and managed to solve it?

Many thanks

I'm connecting using VPNBook servers and it works fine with this command:

 sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/vpnbook-udp-53.ovpn --auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/password.txt

but I just can't seem to figure out how to stop it without a reboot.

I've tried service openvpn stop and /etc/init.d/vpnbook stop, but that doesn't seem to affect it.

I know there are many tutorials on the net for setting up VPN client and server.

I you find one that is simple/short, I am interested only in the server part.

For client, I will use OS X so I prefer a solution that uses L2TP over IPsec or PPTP because I suppose Cisco IPsec would cost something.

I don't want to spent too many hours setting it up. You know, maybe someone already made a setup script :)

Note: I am using an EC2 micro instance running Ubuntu 12.04 on it.
