Hi,
I am using openvpn community version 2.0.9 .
I recently faced a problem that the openvpn service on my server, went down as soon as a particular IP was assigned the virtual IP of 1 proxy.
Scenario:
I have 2 proxies PX1 and PX2. All the clients get their virtual IP's from these 2 proxies(each client has 2 virtual IP's corresponding to the respective proxies).
Now when the problem started PX1 was working fine but openvpn on PX2 was down constantly.I tracked the problem and it was pin pointed to 1 IP.
After analysis i found that problem was in the config files corresponding to PX2 had the physical IP of PX2, so it got virtual IP of PX2. But in config files corresponding to PX1, instead of the virtual IP of PX1 was the virtual IP of PX2. so it was basically trying to create a tunnel within a tunnel.
Can anyone please tell me why this would lead to my services being blocked on the server as after that my service on the server hanged and had to restart it. Does creating a tunnel within a tunnel create such problems.
