I have this working by installing dnsmasq. Not sure this is the good way
for the freedombox, but it works. This is what I've added to
/etc/dnsmasq.conf:

cache-size=200
interface=eth1
listen-address=10.42.0.1
dhcp-range=10.42.0.50,10.42.0.150,1h

I have this also working. All traffic from the LAN is routed trough the VPN.

With regards,
