Internet by OpenVPN: Routing Configuration

to allow proper routing of our VPN subnet:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
service iptables save

to enable IP Forwarding:

sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

apply sysctl settings & start the server automatically on boot:

sysctl -p
service openvpn start
chkconfig openvpn on

You now have a working OpenVPN Server. In the following steps, we’ll discuss how to properly configure your client.
