[SGVLUG] OpenVPN not seeing anything

[skevin521 at yahoo.com]

First off, I want to thank everyone about the GMail comments.  GMail was indeed greylisting me, and it is still taking about 10 hours for mail to get through.  Oh well...

I'm now facing down a new breed of problem - OpenVPN.  I've gotten it set up and installed on a CentOS box on a public IP, but when I connect (I'm using Tunnel Blick for the Mac as my client) I suddenly lose all connectivity to the world around me.  It's not just hostnames not resolving... I can't even hit any numerical IPs, except my local gateway.

Oddly enough, any SSH sessions I had open just prior to connecting still remain open.  Here's my server.conf:

port 1194
proto tcp
dev tun
ca keys/ca.crt
cert keys/virdev01.crt
key keys/virdev01.key
dh keys/dh1024.pem
server 172.16.229.0 255.255.255.0
client-config-dir ccd
#########
######### Put your Public DNS Servers here

push "dhcp-option DNS 216.187.125.130"
push "dhcp-option DNS 216.187.125.131"
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
push "redirect-gateway def1"
keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
status server-tcp.log
verb 3

Any help would be totally totally appreciated.
