[SOLVED]How to properly use a VPN connection

Hi guys,

I successfully set up my VPN connection with OpenVPN but I fail to understand how to use it.

I'm successfully connected to the vpn (anna.vpntunnel.se) but when I visit a website like vpntunnel.se or whatismyip.org, I get my public IP and not the one from my VPN.

How should I setup my network manager ? I want all my internet traffic to use the VPN. I tried something like VPNautoconnect but it's only for Ubuntu and it's terrible to install on Fedora even after compiling it from source.

Should I use iptables ? Should I modify an options in firefox/chromium ?

Thanks.
