OpenVPN - Public IP address not changing

Hi, got a new OpenVPN server set up following the OPNSense road warrior guide. All is working fine except that my public IP address is not changing. Anyone know where to start with troubleshooting that? And how to set up to route all network traffic through the VPN?

Per default not all traffic is redirected into the vpn tunnel.
In most cases you do not want redirect all traffic because your VPN server needs big connection and it redirects traffic that is not necessary.
Search for "redirect gateway" option that should be what you need.
Maybe some more rules are necessary to allow the traffic.

Gotcha, my home connection is on a symmetrical gigabit connection so bandwidth is not an issue. I need all traffic to go through my VPN for use at work.
I will research redirect gateway, thanks again banym.
