Web content filter not working on VPN

[giacomo (Giacomo Sanchietti)]

But the problem still remaining… web content filter is not applied to OpenVPN client in routed mode,I think it’s the “normal” behaviour of nethserver (I’m waiting Gabriel to confirm if it was working for him in routed mode)

You can use web content filtering for VPN clients but only in manual (or authenticated) mode.

@giacomo do you think it’s something that should be implemented in future release ?

I don’t think so, since this is the first time someone request for such feature
But you can implement by yourself with a simple template-custom (not tested):

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/shorewall/rules
echo "REDIRECT ovpn 3129 tcp 80" >> /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/shorewall/rules/90squid_ovpn
signal-event firewall-adjust
