VPN (openVPN) question - will *all* network traffic go through the VPN?
I have a customer who wants to have *all* their computer internet activity routed through a server in our datacenter.
They want MSN, email, ftp, browser, ping from the command line, and even DNS lookups that initiate from any software running on the computer...
... they want everything to be routed through the datacenter server.
None of it should go through the ISP. Not even DNS lookups.
I'm thinking that a VPN setup is the way to do this. (ie: Run openVPN on the server and use openVPN client on the remote computers.)
So the idea is that as long as they are connected to the VPN server in our datacenter, which creates an encrypted "tunnel", then all traffic will be routed through the datacenter VPN server. The ISP will not be able to see anything at all, except the connection to the VPN server.

Yes, as long as you are connected to VPN, all your traffic are routed to the vpn server.

This is not the default for OpenVPN. Detailed instructions can be found at http://openvpn.net/howto.html#redirect - make sure to note the caveats.
