Thanks again for all the great tips on OpenVPN setup. I think its about ready for real deployment but I have a couple of more questions.
My OpenVPN server (10.0.0.254) is inside my LAN behind another FreeBSD router/gateway (10.0.0.253) which is running IPFW+NATD and handles the LAN's connection to the cable modem. All that is running fine. In the docs I read it told me to turn forwarding on at the OpenVPN server (10.0.0.254) as well, effectively turning it into another gateway. I was wondering if this could be avoided, assuming the docs I read were about a setup where the VPN server was right off the Internet and was needed as the gateway. I added this route to the FreeBSD router (10.0.0.253) which on my LAN is the machine right off the cable modem: route add -net 10.8.0.0/24 10.0.0.254 This made everything work but I'd like to ask if this is the most efficient way of setting up the routing table.on the router (10.0.0.253). When I check the routing tables on the OpenVPN server with netstat -nr I see this info: Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 10.0.0.253 UGS 0 31257 bge0 10.0.0.0/24 link#3 U 1 101587 bge0 10.0.0.254 link#3 UHS 0 0 lo0 10.8.0.0/24 10.8.0.2 UGS 0 33716 tun0 10.8.0.1 link#5 UHS 0 2 lo0 10.8.0.2 link#5 UH 0 0 tun0 127.0.0.1 link#4 UH 0 472 lo0 I'm curious as to why the 3rd entry shows the route for 10.8.0.0/24 goes through 10.8.0.2 as it's gateway. 10.8.0.2 is not pingable in this setup. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
