Vpn connection estabilished but no data is exchanged

grisson

Hi.
I'm trying to setting up a vpn between a linux server and a tomatovpn client( is a firmware mounted on a wrt54gl router)
The vpn connection is ok but i cannot ping the server from the client and viceversa.

The client config is generated by the router web ui and is:

daemon
client
dev tun11
proto tcp-client
remote 89.22.98.49 1194
resolv-retry 30
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
verb 3
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
status-version 2
status status

The server configuration is:

port 1194
proto tcp
dev tun
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key 
dh dh1024.pem
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
client-to-client
keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
verb 3

the final goal is to access the router interface from the server (this because the router is connected to a net connection which have private ip, in the other case a dyndns would be sufficient).
The goal^2 is to access the port 80 of a device connected to the router (by natting some ports on the router)

Actually, the router(client) can connect to the server and get the ip 10.8.0.6, but i'm stuck here.

Any ideas?

Your server config and your client config have a conflict. You list 'comp-lzo' on the client but not on the server. You either specify it on both sides or on neither, but you can't have it one. This is the compression option. If you remove it from the client it should work.
