I've been using a fairly basic PPTP setup on my home router. I know it's not secure but it's the easiest to use.
Now I want to switch to OpenVPN but I can't quite get it to work the same.
My Setup:
Asus N66U with Shibby Tomato firmware with OpenVPN support
OSX laptop with Viscocity or Tunnelblick clients

I've got it up and running. I can connect to it just fine. If I go to a site like ipleak.net and check my IP address, I get the IP of my home router. So far, so good.
Now I have two issues.
1) If I'm connecting from a friends wifi and his router has the same gateway (192.168.1.1) and I try to access my home routers gateway, it goes to his router instead.
2) When I check ipleak.net, it is saying my DNS requests are leaking. It shows this by showing my friends ISPs DNS servers instead of my ISP I use at home.
I'm thinking these two issues are client based. I tried using the "OpenVPN for Android" app on my Nexus 6P and imported my config. Neither of the above two issues are present.
In the Viscosity OpenVPN client, I have the option "Send all traffic through VPN connection" enabled.
Would appreciate any ideas. Hopefully these are pretty basic questions. Thanks
