It should be "Other Things Open Source" in "Discussion & Documentation". Do you have it?

A static route may work for accessing your LAN from the VPN, but you still won't be able to access the Internet from the VPN because the router has to be told to masquerade the 10.8.0.0/24 network.

Also the static route that needs to be set the default gateway (Asus router) would need to be route ...

I think you need NAT here, Without NAT (or special routing rules) you'll be able to get out past the VPN server, but the return path will be through the default gateway, rather than through the VPN server. The default gateway will either route it to the Internet (where it'll be dropped by the next ...

There are 2 things you need to do:

You need to enable ipv4 forwarding.
Because the VPN server is not the default gateway, you need to enable NAT on the server.

Without IP forwarding enabled, no routing will be done
Without NAT, packets will get out, but there won;t be a return path (additionally ...

You can do it with systemd-netowrkd and systemd-resolved. I'm assuming your local dnsmasq instance is the DNS server for your network, and that your computer is not a router for your LAN.

First, undo any changes in /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/systemd/resolved.conf. Recreate the /etc/resolve.conf ...

Note that adding an entry there doesn't DEFINE a table, it just creates an alias. You have to use define the table first. If you are using some kind of network manager, like netifrc, NetworkMAnager or systemd-networkd, I recommend you do it there.

That's because virsh doesn't actually create the tap. virsh just a command-line wrapper for the dbus API. What you want to is give permissions to helper qemu uses to create bridge and tap devices. That helper is /usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper .

The emul- packages are long dead. They've been replaced with multilib profiles and the abi_x86_32 USE flag.

If you're running a really old version of Gentoo, you need to update it. You have 3 choices in that case:
