Hi all! Need help setting up a VPN connection. I have a server on which Pritunl is deployed. I also have an Ubuntu server (let’s call it **app\_server** ) on which some websites are located. How can I make sure that all outgoing traffic from **app\_server** goes through the VPN, while the sites on the **app\_server** remain accessible via the Internet? I installed an **openvpn** client on **app\_server** , connect it to the configuration `openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/my-conf.ovpn --daemon`, and everything works as it should, only my sites become inaccessible from the outside
