Hello there!

I have configured the VPN successfully and on the client side, it connects. but while it changes my IP, still I can't connect to the restricted sites by the internet provider.

I think there should be a way to not only change the IP but also proxy all my traffic through the server

@mehrunrasoli Hello! What is your VPN client's operating system? Traffic should be proxied through the VPN server while connected. Test if you can visit the site in question from your VPN server itself. You may use wget or curl to test. If not, then your VPN server provider also restricts the site. Otherwise, clear the DNS cache on your VPN client (search on Google) and reboot.

@mehrunrasoli Note that for some countries traffic may be blocked or interfered with even when connected to the VPN server. You might want to instead look into alternative solutions such as Shadowsocks.
