Hi. I'm setting up a VPN with openVPN on a debian lenny server. I successfully installed it in the server, then created the certificates and both client (winXP) and server config files. For the client I use openVPN gui. I tested the tunnel and everything went just fine. I even can ping the openVPN server from the XP client. But that´s all. I can't ping any machine behind the openvpn server. Some facts that you may find useful to help me with this issue are:
I Hope you can help me! Thanks! asked 10 Sep '10, 03:45 Asta |
If the gateway is not the default route, then every machine behind the server will need a route back. On one of the machines to which you are trying to connect, create a route: route add -net 10.207.40.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.1 up Where 10.207.40.0 is the OpenVPN subnet allocated by your OpenVPN server and 192.168.0.1 is the LAN address of your openvpn server. answered 02 Aug '11, 08:15 chrisjrob |
