You best me to it! It was doing split tunneling before and would only send relevant traffic down your VPN tunnel that was going to your home network resources. This forces all traffic down the tunnel and makes you really look at home.

Just keep in mind that performance for regular browsing is going to be slow since it doesn't exit locally now for even non secure site traffic but you might want that for security, too.

I got it set up and it works fine (once I'd found the setting). I also got it working on Android using "OpenVPN for Android", which is different to the "OpenVPN Connect" client I was previously using.

This kind of info is very useful, thanks.

Some of the shows I download while in some markets where aren't available for download in other markets where I am; and so it's nice to have a workaround to renew/download shows between trips.

This is a must especially if you have kids and need to keep them busy.
