I know Andrew and a few others on here are openvpn experts, so I am posting a couple of my problems here.
First I have my home network successfully connecting (via the openvpn client on my linksys router) to my linode. This allows me to send traffic back and forth between my linode and any host on my local network. I've tried to add a second machine to my vpn (from work) and I'm having difficulties. If I connect, the work machine gets the expected IP address as set by the config file, but I can't ping anymore. On the server, the tun0 ip address is unchanged (more on this below) and the routes are unchanged, but now I can't ping anything. What gives? Do all vpn connections (to the same server) share the same tun0 end- point ip address? I was understanding that openvpn sets up p2p connections with an ip address at each end. How does this work? The docs are not clear. Does each end-point have it's own tun device or do they all share on the server? Secondly I can't get dynamic address assignment to work. My linksys comes in and gets a static assignment (this is *not* using dhcp or bridged-mode; I'm using routing only). When I try to get the work machine to merely get a dynamic address, the connection is made, but the tun0 on the client gets no address assigned to it (it's not even up). The logs show a successful authentication. I probably have other issues, but I'll deal with them later. cheers, Michael -- Michael Torrie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
