I have a VPN connection to my mail server, and would like to enforce that mails can be fetched only over the VPN connection.
What kind of VPN? IPSEC? PPTP (ouch)? OpenVPN? For the latter, see redirect_gateway.
openVPN. redirect_gateway is useful to let the client set the default route if needed (easier to handle than doing it on the server if you want it only for some clients). However redirect_gateway only helps when the VPN connection is up. I'd like to have something that blocks the traffic to 10.7.0.1 when the VPN connection is _down_. Call it a static route for 10.7.0.1 to /dev/null ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Die Software soll die Menschen im Netz formen?
