It depends.
You might want to try checking your outgoing IP with a tool like 'telnet
telnetmyip.com’ and see if your outgoing address is what you want it to be.
We have a bunch of other IRLP services running on the same machine in my example, that
must remain accessible with or without a tunnel. You can change outgoing source by using
44.135.59.1 as the gateway in the route table. From ifconfig...
ens3: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 149.28.163.64 netmask 255.255.254.0 broadcast 149.28.163.255
tun0: flags=4305<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 44.136.33.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 destination 44.136.33.2
I can use either of those addresses as the outgoing source.
root@server4:~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
128.0.0.0 44.136.33.1 128.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ens3
0.0.0.0 44.136.33.1 128.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ens3
0.0.0.0 149.28.162.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ens3
As long as OpenVPN (server side) is running, outgoing traffic will use 44.136.33.1 as its
source. If you stop OpenVPN, traffic will originate from the 149-network address.
