Last question for this topic how do i delete these settings after closing my openvpn connection?

```auto
ip rule add from 192.168.42.0/24 lookup 42
ip route add default dev tun1 table 42
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.42.0/24 -o tun1 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -i wlan0 -o tun1 -j ACCEPT

```

Deleted via

```auto
ip rule delete from 192.168.42.0/24 lookup 42
ip route delete default dev tun1 table 42
iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -s 192.168.42.0/24 -o tun1 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -t filter -D FORWARD -i wlan0 -o tun1 -j ACCEPT

```

is this syntax correct?

`del` instead of `delete` in `ip` commands.  
It also depends if you want to allow leaks from the wifi when the VPN is not connected.

Looks ok to me. Is there any error if you run it manually?
