URGENT: Difficulty in allowing incoming port 22 while run...

[personaljosh]

Dear all,

Here is my situation, I am using OpenBSD,

I have a server which I do not have physical access to, however I have SSH access to it.

I want to use OpenVPN client to connect to a VPN Server, from my remote linux server which I have done successfuly, and I can use the OpenVPN connection no problems via "links", etc - it shows working.

Whilst the OpenVPN client is connected however I am unable to SSH into port 22 of the server, and once I close it I am also unable to SSH into port 22... infact the server requires a restart everytime.. which obviously is no good...

Could someone please suggest a fix for this error.. I've been searching the internet for hours trying to understand how, and not had alot of luck.. please excuse my ignorance

thank you in advance,

best

post your client config file and routing tables; sounds like the routing table on the client gets screwed up during/after the VPN connection. DO NOT use bridging unless you have a very good reason to do so.

Just give us the configs.
