Hallo! PLS CC me because i am not subscribed to this list.
I found a strange behavior with networkmanager and vpn tunnels an my openSuSE 10.1 System. I am in the net: 192.168.0.0/24 My openvpn Gateway is 192.168.0.80 (its in the same net). If I establish a connection with networkmanager using an openvpntunnel I end up with the following routing table: Monkey:~ # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.80 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 tun0 Monkey:~ # ping 10.8.0.1 PING 10.8.0.1 (10.8.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. --- 10.8.0.1 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 1008ms Monkey:~ # 10.8.0.1 is the servers vpn ip address. I have no usable connection to it. after deleting the route to the host 192.168.0.80 I do get a connection: Monkey:~ # route del -host 192.168.0.80 Monkey:~ # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 tun0 Monkey:~ # ping 10.8.0.1 PING 10.8.0.1 (10.8.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 10.8.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.53 ms 64 bytes from 10.8.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.834 ms 64 bytes from 10.8.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=1.23 ms 64 bytes from 10.8.0.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=1.27 ms --- 10.8.0.1 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 2998ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.834/1.217/1.534/0.253 ms Monkey:~ # This problem does only occur if the vpn-gateway is in the same subnet as the client. As I looked over the code I found the wrong-going function in the file NetworkManager-0.6.4\src\backends\NetworkManagerSuSE.c /* * nm_system_device_add_route_via_device_with_iface * * Add route to the given device * */ void nm_system_device_add_route_via_device_with_iface (const char *iface, const char *route) { char *buf; g_return_if_fail (iface != NULL); /* Add default gateway */ buf = g_strdup_printf ("/sbin/ip route add %s dev %s", route, iface); nm_spawn_process (buf); g_free (buf); } In my opinion this function should not get called if the vpn-gateway is in the same subnet as the client. I don't know how to fix this problem but I am hoping you can help me out a bit :D It would also be great if a fix could make it into opensuse 10.1. Thank you for listening. And have a nice Christmas!
