I just wiped a 9.4.2 box at a site that uses a bunch of OpenVPN connections and installed 11.1. I setup my own OpenVPN connection first, and connected up just fine. I then started wondering about the 'new' use of NAT on all openvpn connections, as defined now with the handy "NAT OpenVPN Traffic:" checkbox with the parenthetic explanation (NAT all LAN-bound OpenVPN traffic to a local address). The checkbox was checked by default, and I didn't mess with it.
I understood this to mean that any device on the LAN I connect to via OpenVPN will see the connection coming from, well, a local address, presumably the LAN address of the Untangle box.
So I RDP'd into a 2k8 server and pulled up the Terminal Services Manager and asked for the properties of my connection: it said the connection was coming from 172.16.0.6, which is my remote machine's OpenVPN IP address, and decidedly NOT a local address. In other words, it isn't NATing anything.
What am I not understanding? Is something not working, or am I not understanding what the effect of this "NAT OpenVPN Traffic" function should be?
