internet traffic does not traverse openvpn server

[Tony van der Hoff <tony@vanderhoff.org>]

Hi,

I've set up an openvpn server and client on two machines running Wheezy,
generally in line with this howto:
https://wiki.debian.org/openvpn%20for%20server%20and%20client

I can ping the server at 10.8.0.1, but according to whatismyip.com,
using iceweasel, my local (dynamic) ip is still being shown. Clearly
I'm missing something; can anyone tell me what magic incantation is
necessary for all internet traffif from my local client to go over the VPN?

My objective, FWIW, is for me to appear located in UK (where my openvpn
server is) rather than France (where I am at present).

Cheers, Tony
